Coleen Solomon Field Operations Deputy Director | State of California DMV
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has announced the temporary closure of its Santa Ana office located at 1330 East 1st Street. The decision follows the discovery of suspected mold in a non-public area, prompting the DMV to collaborate with an industrial hygienist to investigate and test the office environment. This measure aims to ensure health and safety standards for both staff and the public.
A reopening date for the Santa Ana office has not yet been determined.
In the interim, customers can visit other nearby DMV locations where all appointments will be honored:
- Costa Mesa: 650 West 19th Street (10.2 miles from the Santa Ana office)
- Fullerton: 909 W Valencia Drive (11.0 miles from the Santa Ana office)
- Westminster: 13700 Hoover Street (11.3 miles from the Santa Ana office)
- Laguna Hills: 23535 Moulton Parkway (13 miles from the Santa Ana office)
The DMV encourages customers to utilize online services for most tasks that do not require an in-person visit. Many simple self-service transactions are now available digitally and no longer need an office visit. Customers can complete eligible driver’s license and vehicle registration renewals online, among other services.
To further facilitate digital transactions, customers can use the Service Advisor on the DMV website to explore their options for completing various DMV tasks. Additionally, those interested in receiving paperless vehicle registration and driver’s license renewal notices can sign up by creating a secure online account at dmv.ca.gov and opting in.
