Walnut Creek DMV Office Closing Permanently This Week

LAMORINDA, CA — If you typically conduct business at the Department of Motor Vehicles office in Walnut Creek, you have until Friday to get everything wrapped up. The Walnut Creek DMV on North Broadway will close permanently at 5 p.m.

The office's lease is expiring and will not be renewed.

Lamorinda residents will have the following choices:

• Oakland, 5300 Claremont Ave.
• Concord, 2070 Diamond Blvd.
• Pittsburg, 1399 Buchanan Road
• Pleasanton, 6300 West Las Positas Blvd., (reopening Monday following renovations)
• Pleasanton, 2621 Stoneridge Mall Road, Unit G225B, (opening Nov. 23)

That's right — Pleasanton will have two offices, while Lamorinda and Walnut Creek will have none.

"We have recently made many alternatives available for our customers," DMV Director Steve Gordon said. "Most DMV transactions can now be completed without visiting a field office by using our expanded online services, kiosks, business partners or mail."

The DMV posts current wait times on its website. You may also schedule an appointment, which saves time.
