Friendly and helpful staff, significantly more present and welcoming than any other DMV I’ve been to. The building itself is in a strange place, but there’s plenty of parking for its size. If you’re looking to complete your driving test, I highly recommend coming here....Read More

This location is so much better than another other DMV office that I've been to. They were able to help my international friend with re-registering his car so we could sell it before returning home. Everyone here was very welcoming, professional, and most importantly; kind...Read More

Arrive early (before 8 am) they start checking people in 15-20 minutes prior to opening. If you arrive at 8 you’ll be waiting a little. Still way better than any city DMV

My beef is not with Santa Paula DMV but with the DMV itself and their new 2021 changes to the driving written test to purposely make it harder. I guess by some twisted logic the powers that be at the DMV think they can make …...Read More
