FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 7, 2019

NOTE: Updates previous release – scheduled dates for office relocation have changed

Eureka – The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is alerting customers that the Eureka field office is changing locations next month. The current office, located at 322 W. 15th St., will move to a temporary space at Bayshore Mall, Suite #906, 3300 Broadway St., while the DMV looks for a permanent office location. The relocation, which was scheduled to take place in mid-October, has been delayed until November to complete necessary renovations at the new site.

Change in office hours: The Eureka field office currently opens at 7 a.m. every weekday except Wednesday. With the new location, the office will open at 8 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  It will continue to open at 9 a.m. on Wednesday and close at 5 p.m. daily.

REAL ID reminder: Starting October 1, 2020, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will require passengers to show a valid passport or other federally approved document, like a REAL ID driver license or identification card, to board flights within the United States and access secure federal facilities and military bases.

“If your license or identification card expires between now and October 2020, we recommend that you wait to apply for your REAL ID at the time of your renewal,” DMV Director Steve Gordon said. “If you need a REAL ID and your card expires after October 2020, we recommend you choose a convenient time to apply before the federal enforcement date begins.”

To apply for a REAL ID driver license or identification card, Californians must visit a DMV office and bring the following documents:

  • One Proof of Identity – Original or Certified (examples: valid passport, birth certificate)
  • One Proof of Social Security Number
  • Two Proofs of California Residency – Paper Copies (examples: utility bill, bank statement)

Visit REALID.dmv.ca.gov for a complete list of acceptable documents and a helpful quiz to determine if you need a REAL ID driver license or identification card. Customers are encouraged to fill out the online application before their office visit at eDLapp.dmv.ca.gov.

The DMV reminds customers that many transactions can be completed without visiting a field office, including renewing a vehicle registration or driver license (not available when first applying for a REAL ID), ordering replacement vehicle registration cards and stickers, and changing an address.
