What’s going on with DMV?

By Donna Westfall – June 9, 2024

DMV is located at 1475 Parkway Drive in Crescent City. Their hours are 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday and closed on weekends.

Did you know that as of June 3rd, DMV will no longer offer these services at the local office?

RENEWING:

Vehicle Registration

Driver’s License/ID Card (With no in-office requirements)

REPLACING:

Driver’s License/ID card

REQUESTING:

Driver and Vehicle Record

Instead they claim that there are Easier ways to complete these tasks by:

1. ONLINE SERVICES – dmv.ca.gov/online
2. KIOSK – dmv.ca.gov/kiosks
3. MAIL

They end by having this: “Enjoy a new DMV digital experience.” dmv.c.a.gov/MyDMV

Maybe no one will then have to contend with this:

Just prior to June 3rd a friend offered this in-person exchange at the local office:

“I wanted to change my name on my driver’s license and registration. I wanted to go back to my maiden name. I told the lady at the counter that my husband had died. She said to me, ‘You’ll have to get a divorce.” I replied, ‘He’s dead.” She replied, “Not my problem.”

Maybe it will be better not dealing with human employees at the local DMV.
