Where to book your Moreno Valley DMV appointment

The Moreno Valley DMV office is located at 24480 Sunnymead Boulevard, Moreno Valley, CA 92553. You can book an appointment there through the California DMV's online system at dmv.ca.gov, which is the fastest way to find a specific date and time. You can also call the office directly at (951) 413-3264 to book over the phone, though wait times for phone lines are often longer than booking online.

Walk-ins are accepted at the Moreno Valley location, but you will wait significantly longer than if you have a reserved appointment. During peak hours — typically mid-morning and early afternoon on weekdays — walk-in wait times can exceed two hours. If you do not have an appointment and arrive during a busy time, you may be turned away if the office reaches capacity.

What services you can handle at the Moreno Valley location

The Moreno Valley DMV office handles most common services: written tests for learner's permits and driver's licenses, behind-the-wheel road tests, license renewals and replacements, vehicle registration and title transfers, and commercial driver's license (CDL) testing. Not all DMV locations offer every service, so if you need something specific — such as a CDL endorsement or a disabled person placard — confirm that Moreno Valley offers it before booking.

You can check which services are available at this location by visiting dmv.ca.gov, selecting the Moreno Valley office, and viewing the service list. If the service you need is not listed, the website will show you the nearest location that offers it.

How to book online step by step

Go to dmv.ca.gov and click "Book an Appointment" or "Appointments" at the top of the page. Select "Moreno Valley" as your location. Choose the service you need from the dropdown menu — for example, "Driver License Written Test" or "Behind-the-Wheel Drive Test." The system will show you available dates and times for that service.

Select a date and time that works for you. The calendar shows only days with open slots, so if you see no availability for several weeks, that service is fully booked at that location. You can check back later, as cancellations open up regularly. Once you choose a time, enter your name, phone number, email address, and the last four digits of your Social Security number. The system will send you a confirmation number by email and text. Save this number — you will need it when you arrive.

Appointment availability and wait times

Availability at the Moreno Valley location depends on the service and the time of year. Road tests typically book weeks in advance, especially during spring and summer when more people are testing. Written tests usually have more frequent openings. Early morning slots (8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.) tend to fill faster than afternoon times.

If you cannot find an appointment at Moreno Valley, check nearby locations such as Riverside, Victorville, or San Bernardino. Sometimes a location 20 to 30 minutes away has availability sooner. You can also set up a reminder to check dmv.ca.gov regularly — cancellations are released throughout the day as people reschedule or cancel.

What to bring and how to prepare

Bring your confirmation number, a valid photo ID, and any documents the DMV requested when you booked. For a written test, bring your learner's permit if you have one. For a road test, bring your learner's permit, proof of vehicle registration, proof of insurance, and the vehicle you will be driving. For a license renewal, bring your current license and proof of residency if required.

Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your appointment time. The office opens at 8:00 a.m. and closes at 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday; hours may vary on holidays. If you are running late, call the office when ready — some appointments can be rescheduled if you contact them before your time slot.

If you need to reschedule or cancel

You can cancel or reschedule your appointment through dmv.ca.gov using your confirmation number, or by calling (951) 413-3264. Cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance free up the slot for other people and may help you avoid a no-show fee if your plans change. If you miss your appointment without canceling, you may lose your reservation and have to book again.

If you cancel and need a new appointment, book when ready — slots fill quickly, especially for road tests. Rescheduling through the website is usually faster than calling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book an appointment for someone else?

No. The person taking the test or renewing their license must book their own appointment using their name and Social Security number. You can help them navigate the website or call on their behalf, but the reservation must be in their name.

What if I don't have internet access to book online?

Call the Moreno Valley DMV at (951) 413-3264 to book by phone. Phone lines are busier than the online system, so expect to wait on hold. Early morning calls, before 10:00 a.m., typically have shorter wait times.

How far in advance can I book an appointment?

You can book up to 60 days in advance through dmv.ca.gov. If you need an appointment sooner, check for cancellations daily — they are released throughout the day as people reschedule.

What happens if I arrive late to my appointment?

If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, the DMV may cancel your appointment and you will have to reschedule. Call ahead if you are running behind schedule; the office may be able to hold your slot or fit you in later that day.

Is there a fee to book an appointment?

No. Booking an appointment through dmv.ca.gov or by phone is free. You will pay the service fee — such as the written test fee or road test fee — only when you complete your appointment.
