The Lompoc DMV is great. It is very spacious, bright and airy. The employees there are very friendly and welcoming. They answer any questions you have in our willing to take the time to go over whatever it is that you are there for. My suggestion for you is to go online and make an appointment and fill out any paperwork you need to online. It will get you in and out so much faster. I do not live in Lompoc, but this is definitely my go to DMV. read more

DMV - Large sitting area, multiple windows to serve guests - Departments of Motor Vehicles Near Me - Lompoc, California

I made an appointment and went to the LOMPOC DMV this morning. I was approx. 15 minutes early. The woman who greeted me and checked me in was very friendly. As soon as she checked me in my number was called. I never even sat down. I went to window 7 and met with Fatima. She took my information/packet of documents and took hardly anytime at all to process the application. She checked my vision, had me sign, handed me all my paperwork back and my new temporary Real ID/license. She sent me across to the photo machine. A very nice man greeted me and took my photo. He then finished my paperwork and I was done. This was the most pleasant trip to the DMV ever!. read more

I came to this DMV to renew my driver's license. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, and the whole process went very smoothly. I'm extremely satisfied with the service I received read more

This DMV is consistently wonderful! Each and every staff member is so kind, helpful and everyone seems to be enjoying their work culture. it's the most un-dme DMV! I go in quite a few times a year and the employees are always so helpful. read more

The process was surprisingly quick -- short lines and a very efficient system overall. Most of the staff were friendly and professional, which made the visit much smoother than expected. That said, one staff member (not at the window I was in line for) turned around and initiated a question about my purpose there. While I assume it came from a helpful place, the interaction felt a bit unnecessary -- especially since I didn't know who he was at the time. A clearer introduction or simply waiting until the appropriate window would have been more comfortable. Still, overall a positive experience. read more

Just got an appointment for my new license ! It will be the next week coming up. I should have got my license by August 18th which will be my next birthday. I also need to see if my husband can drive us to Lompoc. read more

I walked in the door and there was just one person in line ahead of me! The woman behind the counter motioned me forward and asked how she could help, so I told her I'd just moved back to California and needed a driver's license. She said, "Welcome back" before asking the necessary questions. A simple thing, a small courtesy, but the whole process was like that - friendly, competent people turning something I'd been dreading for weeks into an experience that left me smiling, yes, SMILING, as I walked out the door. read more

This DMV is the largest and most modern one I have ever been to. Before doors even opened, there was a little line but an employee started early directing people with documents they needed and where to stand, so when it did officially open everyone was already to go. Very efficient. Everyone that provided services were very pleasant to work with. This is a great location, with friendly and efficient workers. I was highly impressed with my visit! read more

DMV - Large DMV location - Departments of Motor Vehicles Near Me - Lompoc, California

Everyone had a smile. Arrived at 10 am morning rush was over ' They send you to 7 different stations. Some employees are manning more than one station. I am an A hole old and hard of hearing. Thank you read more

During COVID, no appointments. HOWEVER, if you pre-register on-line and download your documents to their website, you will get an e-mail with a code number. Print that out and bring it with you. The DMV has a separate waiting line for people that pre-register, and you won't have to wait in the main line!! Much quicker, to include wait time once admitted inside. Regrettably, they don't post this at the entrance. Cheers! RS read more

Simply the best DMV on the coast !! Easy to access parking lot . And amazingly organized, staff top notch . I normally despise DMV numerous horrible experiences at the Santa Maria location. On a whim I decided to go to the Lompoc location , which is truly a different experience. Today was my 3rd visit in the last couple of months & I seriously don't mind coming here . Yes I use the pre-registered online app. Which means no long line . Everyone there is extremely knowledgeable & professional. But the best part they are friendly & welcoming which turns the dreaded DMV into a better than expected one . Well worth the drive !! read more

Fast great service very clean and very very efficient. Both of my Kids Marco And Briana do both tests here and way faster than Santa Maria I recommend to use this facility in Lompoc. read more

My wait time was less than 10 mins. with no appointment! This is a newer DMV office. It's clean, quiet and the service is fast and courteous. Plenty of parking in the rear. Make an appointment for even faster service. There are clean public restrooms in the lobby. read more

Small community. Some of these employees are good and some of them are rotten to the point of letting their personal issues reflect in their mannerism on the job. Better off going to Santa Maria or Santa Barbara. read more

Talked to a lady on the phone who was SO RUDE. Wouldn't even let me finish talking, kept shushing me, talked to me like I was nobody. If I could get away with never going to the dmv, id never go to this one. Lompoc DMV is the absolute WORST read more

Nice dmv inside how ever they have 12 service windows and only 2 people working sometimes 3 but then one will randomly leave, I guess that's how dmv's work? Nice people just need more of them. Just like any dmv you'll be waiting forever, even for the most simplest thing you need done read more

Who doesn't dread the DMV? I would rather have needles stuck in my arm than stand in the dreadful lines, and deal with the rude counter staff. We drove 30 minutes out of our usual DMV to the Lompoc division when lo and behold.... the lines were short, the staff was KIND and helpful and the building is clean and new! I will definitely drive the 30 minutes from SM to here for any future DMV needs. read more

This is my first time at this location. I had an appointment so I was able get check in right away and not wait in the line that was almost out the door. I got my number and waited less than 10 minutes. The gentleman that helped me was really nice. If you need to go get an appointment first. Well worth it. read more

Worst DMV ever, been waiting for over 2 houRs. Can the workers go any faster, people al ready took naps and some when to their Doctors appointments and back haha. No joke and still nothing. We got number #51 and when we got her it was at #15 now past 2 hours and they are at #34 read more

DMV - No Staff - Departments of Motor Vehicles Near Me - Lompoc, California

We LOVE this DMV! My youngest daughter who has extreme anxiety passed her drivers test here finally! SLO & Santa Maria were so loud and busy for her! We registered her vehicle there as well with a two minute wait time!! read more

So NOBODY wants to go to the DMV and I am no exception. When I got there 15 minutes before they opened there were already 20 people standing outside. The guy that came out 5 minutes before the opening was awesome. Told everyone where they needed to go, organized they groups, and got everyone in the proper lines and then the wait begins. But NO! I did the computer work prior, so I was checked, given a number and told to wait. 10 minutes max! Went through all the paperwork cHecks, got my picture done and was sent home done in less than 40 minutes from Parking to driving home. Nice people at all the windows I visited and I seriously was blown away how easily a guy with no appointment was able to get through the system. read more

This is the best DMV i have been to yet. The customer service was great and everyone was friendly. In fact, one lady went out of her way to help us. She over heard me saying that I should have had my son get his ID while we were here. She went and spoke with the lady that just helped us and they let us go back up and get it. I didn't even ask her to do that. For the DMV, this was a great experience and they were very helpful and friendly. read more

Manpower here is limited, controlled. Compare to grocery store, they have windows that are not open even with a long line of wait. You will also notice at 10am they will start taking their short breaks automatically. The wait is long, expect to be there for at least an hour. Otherwise, the place is clean and well maintained. If you can do it online, don't come here. I thought West Covina DMV was bad enough, at least the place is big and air-conditioned. You can spend your whole day here to cool-down when it is hot outside. read more

Best experience I've ever had with the DMV. I was in and out in minutes. Also the most beautiful DMV building I've seen. High ceilings and natural light - yes please! read more

I made my appointment a month prior, got there an hour earlier, before the time of my appointment I got in line and the lady reminded me I had to get my car registration and proof of insurance. I went to the car, which was already parked in one of the spots for the drivers test, it took me a while to find it, I got in line again and the same lady told me I was too late and I had to reschedule( only seven minutes late), she told me I should've sent my licensed driver to look for the papers. After speaking to her and another lady, they put me on standby, I waited for half an hour, then got called up so they can tell me I couldn't take it today and they rescheduled me for a month from now. Unbelievable. read more

I'm giving 5 starts to 1 person. I've been in here multiple times and everyone is rude except for 1 man over by the computers has an exceptional attitude and is so helpful. I know this job must be stressful but he made the whole experience that much better I never get a change to get his name but he knows who he is. Someone needs to give that man a raise. Goes above and beyond with his job props to him for going the extra mile. read more

It is probably a result of the drivers licenses being issued at the new Lompoc location, but every time in the last 3 years I've visited (6 times I guess), it has been in-and-out as can be for the DMV. I'd say about half the time I had made an appointment, and that helped to expedite the process. The other 3 times (most recently today) I spent a whole 15 minutes there. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout. read more

The lady literally failed me on my driving test for a dumb reason, the Vehicle was already half way over the line when the light turned yellow, so I proceeded through the intersection. Then she tells me that I failed for going on a yellow light. Like do you expect me to stop in the middle of the damn intersection. Ridiculous, they need to evaluate their employees read more

Do not even bother to show up. I took my liscense's test today at Lompoc DMV and let me just start by saying what a shitty, horrible, and fucking enraging experience it was. My instructors name was Rosa. If you are taking your test in Lompoc just pray to god the intructor isn't this bitch. The moment she walked out to the car I knew I was going to fail. My mom had handed me the wrong registration to the car, which really was no big deal, my mom was right inside with the correct one. But no, Rosa made sure that I knew how horrible it was for her having to walk inside and check the vehicle herself. I knew at that moment how unlucky I was. She came back and gave horrible instructions, then acted as if I was driving badly. She auto failed me for "not yielding the right of way" to a pedestrian who was not even crossing the street. It was just an overall unbelievable experience. I will definitely not be returning to Lompoc DMV for anything. Hopefully Goleta has civil instructors that actually want you to pass. Rosa, get better at your job. I hope you do for any other poor soul that has to drive with you. good bye. read more

Made and appointment at 910. Came in about 830. Waited to find out a didn't have an appointment in their books. So the woman put me in the non appointment line. Where three people who came far after I had were seen and done before myself..I'm still here waiting read more
