    Decent experience, great for a DMV. I just wish they had signs that told the public what a DMV…read moreagent told the confused crowd waiting at the front at eight-minute increments. Let me break it down for you: When you enter: - If you have a behind the wheel test appointment, you are to wait in line to the left. The agent that works at Window 1 will call out last names and aid you, from what I saw. - If you do not have an appointment and are there for another service, you must go to the front of the "Information" area and scan a QRC on a printed half-sheet of paper. This will take you to the application completion form online and you can "check in" that way, from what I gather. *Please note this is based on instruction I heard.* -If you DO have an appointment, which I recommend, you can go sit in the waiting area beyond the information desk and you should receive a text with a ticket number about ten minutes before your appointment time. If you don't receive a text, I'd wait about ten minutes after your appointment time in case they are running behind, then you can go back and politely tell the agent that addresses the waiting crowd at the front to check. They will likely ask your name and manually send you a text then with a ticket number. From then on, it's just a waiting game. I was helped today by Eugene M., who was pleasant, funny and professional. He made an anxiety-ridden morning a bit more bearable. The line for the camera was a bit long, but I mean, it's the DMV. You can expect to be there a little while. Overall a decent experience to renew my license. I'd come here again. But PLEASE GET SOME CLEAR SIGNAGE!!!!

    Why did I have such a good time here?…read more You can arrange a spot in line online so I'd recommend doing that before you leave the house. I did it on my phone while I was here, & it was ~20-30 mins before I was called. There's a self-service kiosk at the entrance that has 6 options, one of them being vehicle registration renewal. I learned that the card reader doesn't perceive swiping a card or tapping a card, so you have to insert your card into the chip reader. The employee at window 14 was very amicable & cool. I went to go take my new picture & the guy photographing looked miserable but took 4 separate shots of me bc I think I kept blinking from the flash. New license should come in the mail in 5-7 days, & my vehicle registration was taken care of at the self-service kiosk! Also, the TV shows the upcoming sports schedule, lol. Which tbh is the real reason we all go to the DMV, right? Parking in this lot was not happening so I parked in the neighbourhood at the cross street. Thank you Long Beach DMV!

    There is plenty of parking out front. Two lines, one for appointments and one for walk-ups. I…read moreaccidentally stood in the walk-up line (no sign) until I noticed a sign across the way for appointments. Security guard asks questions like name and if you have any weapons, then leads you inside. Metal detector then wait for your name to be called. They have a screen with window numbers and customer numbers, but it didn't seem to update. They just called my name and which window, like the DMV. The young lady at my window was terrific, very friendly and personable. I needed to change my address which you can't do online or over the phone. She seemed surprised that this could only be done in person. Yes, it doesn't make sense to me either, but probably for security? After updating my address, she offered to print out a current copy of my social security statement which was very helpful. Overall it only took about 15-20 minutes to get in and out. I definitely recommend making an appointment although I did it a month ago, so if you need something faster, you may just need to wait in the walk-in line.

    Horrible! Don't bother calling if you need to speak to someone at the office. I called at 9am and…read moreafter 15 minutes of waiting a rep answers from TORRANCE! they can't help me because I need to speak to my local (Long Beach) office. I try again. This time wait 25 minutes. Another person picks up from A DIFFERENT OFFICE. I said I have to speak to someone at Long Beach. She said when they can't pick up they transfer it to a different office. She tried to help me get connected to Long Beach. Waited 40 minutes and someone picks up from THOUSAND OAKS. I said to this person it's ridiculous that Long Beach is transferring to other locations because other locations can't help. When you are told you have to speak with your local office, you have to speak with your local office. Just waisting the day being put on hold and resolving nothing. They need to go back to the old way. If it's too busy the recording will say call back and the call is disconnected. That will help everyone not waisting their time to talk to someone who can't help them because it's not your local office.

    Wow that was easy! I walked in 30mins early, checked in with the front desk, and as I was sitting…read moredown, one of the officers saw me and asked me to go with him. He proceeded to ask me some questions, got my fingerprints, handed me a pamphlet, and told me my card will be in the mail in about 2 weeks. Fast and easy! And the officer was very nice =))) As for parking, if you don't mind a 7min walk, there is a 2hrs free parking structure (without validation) on 3rd, between Long Beach Blvd and Pine Ave. It's roughly a 3-4 block walk.

    Came here for my interview for Global Entry. I scheduled my interview 2 months ago. So, it may take…read morea bit to get an interview since the LAX location was not accepting it 2 months ago. However, I think they re-opened the LAX location 1 week ago now. So double check into that. Location: Entrance door is located on LONG BEACH BLVD!! parked right in front of the parkig meter on Long Beach Blvd and in front of the building door. If you type the address they give, it'll take you to the Westin Hotel location and you'll have to walk around a bit. The security pointed to the 2nd elevators to go on and up to the 6th floor. There are multiple signs that directs you where the office is, so it's very easy to find. There are metered-parking surrounding the building on the 3 perimeters that I know of (on streets of Long Beach Blvd, Elm Ave, and 1st St....I'm not sure if Ocean Blvd has parking). FREE metered-parking before 9am!!!! But I read from other yelpers, it's $1 for 1 hour!?! I came a 3 min late and they called me before some other people who had an appointment at a later time, which is really nice. So I think depending on the officer that is helping you it may take between 15-30 min. During my interview, it took 30 min, but it was because we were just chatting and having a conversation. My interview was really relaxed, no pressure, he just asked where I had traveled and that was pretty much it. I didn't need the Conditional Letter, but I suggest you print it out just in case. Look online how to print it out, I had to look to see. It's under "Notifications" when you login to your account. you click on the Conditional Letter and you can print it. I brought my proof of residency too, but he didn't look at that either. ***but just bring the required stuff per stated on their website*** They fingerprinted me and took my picture, so make sure you look your photo best that day.
