DMV closing Stockton office as services move online

(FOX40.COM) — A Stockton area DMV office will close this week as part of the transportation office’s transition from in-person to online for many services.

At 5 p.m. on Friday, the Stockton Driver Safety Office at 710 North American St. will close.

According to the California DMV, these offices mainly serve drivers looking for hearings about possible DMV actions to suspend or restrict driving privileges.

These offices do not provide driver’s license applications/renewals or vehicle registrations.

Once the office closes, drivers will be referred to the DMV’s online case management system where drivers and their attorneys can check their case status or requirements to reinstate a suspended license. The new site will also allow for virtual hearings.

Employees at the Stockton DSO will be reassigned to nearby DMV locations.

The DMV says it will continue to consolidate the number of DSO locations across the state as they continue to move services online.

The nearest DSO location from Stockton is in Sacramento at 4700 Broadway on the 2nd Floor.
