MURRIETA, CA — To better serve Riverside County residents, the California Department of Motor Vehicles announced it will open a first-of-its-kind “Express” office Thursday in Murrieta.

According to the state agency, the new office will open at 8 a.m. May 16 at 27890 Clinton Keith Road, Suite F, near Interstate 215.

Services at the Murrieta location will include:

  • Original and replacement ID cards
  • Driver’s license replacement with changes (address/name)
  • Driver’s license knowledge (written exam) retests
  • Commercial driver’s license medical updates/submissions
  • Duplicate vehicle titles
  • Commercial motor vehicle partial year registration (PYR)
  • Disabled person parking placards

Services such as applying for an original driver’s license and behind-the-wheel drive tests will need to be conducted at a full-service field office. A DMV field office is located in Temecula at 27851 Diaz Road.

The new Murrieta office will not offer appointments. Customers will be served on a first-come, first-served basis. The location will be cashless, only accepting credit and debit cards for payment.

The office will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On Wednesdays, it will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Most DMV tasks do not require an office visit. Customers can use the agency's online services, which include eligible driver’s licenses and vehicle registration renewals.
