Sacramento July 3, 2009 - The Department of Motor Vehicles reminds customers that all statewide offices will be closed on three successive Fridays during the month of July - July 10, 17 and 24 - in keeping with Executive Order S-13-09.

Normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays) remain in effect.

Department officials stressed that if a field office visit is necessary, customers should make every effort to arrive prepared with all requisite paperwork. "Having all necessary paperwork and documents beforehand will be extremely helpful and significantly lessen the impact," said DMV Director George Valverde.

Motorists who have a registration renewal date that falls on a Friday closure day will have penalties waived until the next business day.

Customers can perform any one of the following transactions and functions on the DMV Web site:

Schedule office appointments for up to three transactions or for three separate customers; Renew driver license; Renew vehicle registration; Make a change of address; Register to vote; Purchase personalized plates; File a notice of release of liability; Check the license status of driver's education or traffic schools, new or used vehicle dealers; File vehicle transfer forms; Calculate fees and taxes due; Request refunds; Make appointments for both car and motorcycle driving skill tests, and much more. Automated services are available at (800) 777-0133.
