The Murrieta DMV at 27890 Clinton Keith Road, Suite F, is an express office for a short list of quick transactions: original and replacement ID cards, replacement driver’s licenses with a new name or address, knowledge test retests, duplicate vehicle titles and commercial drivers’ medical certificate updates, plus a self-service kiosk.

For anything else, including a first driver’s license, drive tests and vehicle registration, go to a full-service office: Temecula, about 6.5 miles south, or Hemet, about 15 miles northeast.

What the Murrieta DMV Express Handles
The DMV’s page for the office, which opened in May 2024, lists only these services:
- ID cards: original applications and replacements.
- Driver’s licenses: a replacement license with a new name or address.
- Knowledge test retests: retaking the written driver’s license test.
- Duplicate vehicle titles.
- Commercial drivers’ medical certificates: updates and submissions.
- Kiosk transactions: registration renewals and driver and vehicle records at the self-serve kiosk inside.
Anything else, such as a first driver’s license or a REAL ID license application, behind-the-wheel and motorcycle tests, title transfers, new and out-of-state registrations and VIN verifications, needs a full-service office; our guide to registering a car in California covers the vehicle paperwork.
