CALIFORNIA DMV

Welcome! Your California DMV guide is where you will find loads of helpful information about how to complete DMV-related transactions, and also dozens of other topics related to cars and drivers.

Because many government sites get bogged down with legal-speak, we have compiled easy-to-understand steps on how to complete licensing and registration tasks, and much, much more.

All our information has been researched and written by our team of fellow Californians who cut through the red tape in order to provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to get your DMV tasks accomplished.

It is also very important to stay up to date with the changes in your state’s legislation. Fortunately, DMV.ORG is by your side to help bring you all of the most updated information regarding the operation of a motor vehicle. For example, California recently enacted new laws that affect cellular phone usage while driving. Please visit our California Safety Laws page to find out more.
