There are two Sacramento CA DMV offices for the public, about 5 miles apart: the one the DMV calls simply Sacramento, at 4700 Broadway, and Sacramento South, at 7775 La Mancha Way. Both handle driver’s licenses, ID cards, REAL ID, knowledge and drive tests, titles and registration, and both have self-service kiosks, but only Sacramento South helps with mobile driver’s licenses in person. 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.
Sacramento CA DMV Offices at a Glance
| Office | Address | Kiosk | Mobile license help | CDL skills tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sacramento (Broadway) | 4700 Broadway | Yes | No | No |
| Sacramento South | 7775 La Mancha Way | Yes | Yes | No |
| Carmichael | 5209 North Ave., Carmichael | Yes | No | No |
| West Sacramento Commercial Drive Test Center | 2528 Evergreen Ave., West Sacramento | No | No | Yes |
Sacramento South is the only one of these offices on the DMV’s list of offices that help in person, and the West Sacramento center, about 5.5 miles from Broadway, is the closest CDL test site. When you book, pick the office by name, since the DMV lists the Broadway office simply as “Sacramento.” The Sacramento-Florin IBC on Florin Mall Drive also has a Sacramento address, but Industry Business Centers serve auto dealerships, vehicle registration businesses and trucking companies and don’t offer regular field office services.
