Barstow DMV

I came here after failing the victorville test which i also waited to take for over two hours! In Barstow i waited less than twenty minutes and passed. Would come here again for any of my dmv needs in the future. Special thanks to Mrs. Cathy who calmed me down and provided excellent service during my test.

Gina was very helpful being a senior, she took her time and explained everything in detail. She was very polite and pleasant.

I'm giving 5 stars, yes, lots of people, yes, a wait. Treated politely, with smiles and respect.
Made my DMV experience good.

Even though Barstow is 2hrs away from where I live, I have used them a few times. They are a small facility located in the exact corner of a strip mall. There is a large parking lot with handicap spots. Inside there are restrooms and drinking fountains. The DMV only accepts cash, check or ATM- NO CREDIT CARDS. They are really nice and efficient there. I will drive the 2 hours to go there rather than anywhere else. Thank You, Barstow DMV! :) You Rock!

Very nice to me !
I got my Photo ID and driver's license that day! And fast! 😁

Much better than the DMV'S in Los Angeles. Nice people my appointment was at 12:20p and they called me by 12:18p Renewal took about 1:45min.

Having been originally from Las Vegas, the annual trip to the dmv was always a nightmare. Not the case here in Barstow, CA. This is the best experience I have ever had with the dmv.

Growing up in Las Vegas, Nevada trips to the DMV were always a dreaded experience. I just wish the employees at the Nevada DMV were half as helpful as the staff of the CA DMV in Barstow, CA. They go above and beyond to help you.

Fast and easy DMV. Great service! Even with the whole pandemic regulations they still uphold great service and organization.

This place takes care of the public needs.helpfull and polite..in n out withing 40 minutes thats taking motorcycle test and automobile test.

Small but efficient. It is a must to have your proof of residency in paper form, not digital. I also did not realize that I was going g to need my birth certificate and marriage certificate. I mean, I have only had a driver's license for more than 30 years with the same name. However, I understand fraud is still on the rise. If you are unable to do the application online, then there are computers on-site.

Pretty fast. They were busy. With no appt. I only waited 40 minutes.

I needed a renewal and my daughter was trying for her permit. From the moment we entered we had helpful friendly service. Female at the door greeted us with a smile. Even though she was unable to hear me she remained kind & expressed her struggles to hear me. When my number was called , that caller was also extremely friendly. DMV staff were are very detailed in their directions on our next step to be taken. As I wait for my daughter to finish testing I had a chance to observe that this kindness was given to EVERY costumer that entered. The fact that the wait wasn't long at all was just the icing to the cake. Great job to all workers that worked 9/7/22.😊

Excellent and fast service. I was sent to a different window for photo and because the person was busy, the original person at my window that completed by application stepped in to help and completed my service. I was in and out of the DMV within 15 minutes! Amazing!

So now, the process goes like this
Step 1. Get in line either appointment or non appointment.
Step 2. Wait to be called in by security guard
Step 3. Be seen by lady at computer desk who tells you what you need to fill out.
Step 4. Fill out paperwork and get confirmation number.
Step 5. Go back to lady at front desk who gives you a 4 digit call number. At this point you are officially in queue to be helped.
Step 6. Wait an eternity to be seen by an actual DMV representative.

Still probably the best DMV in California!!

Tara and Geri. Thank You so very much! Their welcoming was outstanding! Patient, accommodating and EXTREMELY knowledgeable about Ca DMV policies is how I will describe these two. My appt was for my license and Heidi is efficient and friendly. Security Guard is On IT!

I love this DMV!! I used to live in LA and the lines were always so long and most of the times the workers had an attitude. Not in the Barstow DMV! In this dmv the workers are friendly and guide you on what paperwork you need. Lines are short even if you don't have an appointment. At worst I've waited 1 hour.

Not going to lie, I had little hopes of getting everything resolved prior to my visit. I was beyond impressed in the services provided, as well as the short length of the visit. All-in-all, we were there maybe 15 minutes, including check-in. Hassle-free, knowledgeable agent who reached out to her supervisor to get clarification of one thing. If only the rest of society worked as promptly as this DMV office.

I didn't have a long wait. Everyone was helpful, courteous, professional and friendly.

Very nice people,.
We should have more people like them working in public jobs. We travel 40 minutes to get a good a good service.
Thanks Barstow for generating this DMV service.
