If you do need to visit a DMV office, you can make an appointment by calling the Telephone Service Center at 800-777-0133 or by using our online appointment service.
Conducting Business with Your Service Animal
Your service animal may accompany you into the DMV Office. You are required to comply with county or city ordinances regarding leash laws, so your service animal must be leashed when inside the DMV office, if the local ordinances require it. If your animal poses a direct threat to the health or safety of other people, you will be asked to remove your animal from the office.
Although the service animal is not required to wear
an identifying harness or special collar, you may be
asked if the animal is a service animal or what tasks
the animal has been trained to perform. You may not
be refused service because you are accompanied by your
service animal.
