Fresno CA DMV offices include two full-service field offices, about 5.5 miles apart: the one the DMV calls simply Fresno, at 655 W. Olive Ave., and Fresno North, at 6420 N. Blackstone Ave. Both handle driver’s licenses, ID cards, REAL ID, knowledge and drive tests, titles and registration, and both have self-service kiosks, but only Olive Avenue gives motorcycle tests. They keep the same weekday hours, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. with a 9:00 a.m. start on Wednesdays, and neither opens on weekends. CDL skills tests have their own test center on East North Avenue.
Fresno CA DMV Offices at a Glance
| Office | Address | Motorcycle tests | Mobile license help | CDL skills tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fresno (Olive Avenue) | 655 W. Olive Ave. | Yes | No | No |
| Fresno North | 6420 N. Blackstone Ave. | No | No | No |
| Clovis | 2103 Shaw Ave., Clovis | Yes | Yes | No |

Clovis, about 8.5 miles east-northeast of Olive Avenue, has a kiosk too and is the only Central California office on the DMV’s list of offices that help in person. The test center, about 5 miles south-southeast of Olive Avenue, gives CDL skills tests by appointment only, on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. (8:00 a.m. on Wednesdays) to 4:00 p.m. When you book, pick the office by name, since the DMV lists the Olive Avenue office simply as “Fresno.” The Fresno IBC shares Fresno North’s address, but Industry Business Centers serve auto dealerships, vehicle registration businesses and trucking companies and don’t offer regular field office services.

Before You Go
Appointments are optional except for drive tests, and the DMV’s wait times page shows the current waits at both Fresno offices and Clovis, so compare them before you choose. Start any license or REAL ID application online and bring the originals; the DMV’s REAL ID checklist lists accepted documents, and our California DMV appointment guide covers booking, drive tests and what to bring. For vehicle paperwork, see our guide to registering a car in California; use tax is 8.35% in Fresno, 8.975% in Clovis and 7.975% in unincorporated Fresno County as of October 2026. All three field offices take cash, checks, money orders, cards and digital wallets (with a 2.1% fee on cards and wallets) and close on Veterans Day (Nov. 11), Thanksgiving (Nov. 26–27), Christmas (Dec. 25) and New Year’s Day (Jan. 1, 2027). Our California DMV offices list covers the rest of the Central Valley and the state.
Frequently Asked Questions
Two field offices: the one the DMV calls Fresno, at 655 W. Olive Ave., and Fresno North, at 6420 N. Blackstone Ave., about 5.5 miles apart. Both have kiosks and give drive tests; only Olive Avenue gives motorcycle tests. The city also has the Fresno Commercial Drive Test Center, for CDL skills tests only, and the Fresno IBC, which isn’t a regular field office.
No. Both Fresno offices and Clovis are open weekdays only, but grocery store kiosks such as the FoodMaxx at 3241 W. Shaw Ave. are open every day, and several DMV business partners in Fresno are open Saturdays.
Conclusion
Fresno’s two DMV offices offer the same core services, but only Olive Avenue gives motorcycle tests. Use Olive Avenue for downtown, Calwa, Malaga and Easton and Fresno North for Pinedale, Old Fig Garden and Fresno State, compare live waits before you go, book ahead for a drive test, and go to Clovis for mobile license help and the Fresno Commercial Drive Test Center for a CDL skills test.
