Mission Statement

California DMV will effectively and efficiently serve the public by:

  • Registering vehicles to identify and authorize use, and titling vehicles to establish ownership interest, for consumer protection.

  • Licensing and regulating the motor vehicle industry, and licensing drivers to protect consumers and promote traffic safety.

  • Establishing true identity to ensure the validity of licensed drivers and identification card holders, and securing personal information for consumer protection.
