Should I go to the CA DMV tomorrow? ?

Question

Apparently the CA DMVs are being hit with layoffs or strikes? Has anyone been to the DMV today or yesterday? WIll the wait without an appointment be horrendous? I live in Tustin, so I would be going to the Santa Ana dmv around 12:30, after work. Has anyone been there this week? Should I drive instead to the Laguna Hills DMV? Would the wait be shorter there? I need to change my name on my license.

How long did you wait and what did you get done?

Answer 1

its better to make an appoinment then just to show up

you get better service and they know you are coming

and nice thing about it you can go to any dmv in the state

(you dont have to go to the closet one unless you want to)

Answer 2

my mom went to the DMV the other day to renew her license. It took her 3 1/2 hours without an appointment.

Answer 3

Make an appointment, get there as early as possible, and plan on making almost a day out of it.  

Answer 4

OMG. STAY AWAY FROM ALL DMV's.

I had an appointment at 12 and waited until 3:30ish before i was helped. NOT worth it.
