FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 14, 2018

Sacramento – The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is offering limited services free of charge to residents impacted by the Woolsey and Hill fires at a Local Assistance Center in Ventura County. The temporary center opens at 11 a.m. Thursday, November 15, 2018, in Thousand Oaks.

Acting Governor Gavin Newsom issued an emergency proclamation authorizing fee and/or penalty waivers for wildfire victims in Ventura County, which allows them to replace at no cost the following items if damaged due to the fire: duplicate driver licenses, identification cards, vehicle registration and title, and disabled person parking placards. In addition, fire victims can acquire substitute license plates and stickers, vehicle disposal paperwork, driver record printouts and process a change of address. These services are also available at local DMV field offices.
