2740 Department of Motor Vehicles

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) serves the public by providing licensing and motor vehicle-related services.

Since department programs drive the need for infrastructure investment, each department has a related capital outlay program to support this need. For the specifics on DMV's Capital Outlay Program see "Infrastructure Overview."
MAJOR PROGRAM CHANGES Back to Top
  • Expanded Eligibility for Driver Licenses: Chapter 524, Statutes of 2013 (AB 60), required, beginning January 1, 2015, DMV to accept driver license applications if a driver does not have a Social Security Number but can instead provide other valid identification documents and proof of California residency. The Budget proposes $57.1 million to continue the program in 2015-16 and provides a mechanism to increase DMV resources, if necessary, to implement this statute.
