The California Department of Motors Vehicles is permanently closing its Walnut Creek field office at the end of this week after not renewing the lease for its location there, and a second office will open in Pleasanton as a replacement later in the month.
Patrons have until 5 p.m. Friday (Nov. 13) to visit the Walnut Creek location just outside downtown at 1910 North Broadway before they will need to conduct business at another DMV office.
The state will be offering a replacement office at the Stoneridge Shopping Center in Pleasanton starting Nov. 23 at 8 a.m. The temporary DMV station at the mall originally opened in July while the regular Pleasanton field office on West Las Positas Boulevard had its roof, furniture and HVAC system replaced.
“We have recently made many alternatives available for our customers,” DMV Director Steve Gordon said in a statement. “Most DMV transactions can now be completed without visiting a field office by using our expanded online services, kiosks, business partners or mail.”
The remodeled Pleasanton field office is scheduled to reopen next Monday (Nov. 16) at 8 a.m. Meanwhile, the Stoneridge Mall location (2621 Stoneridge Mall Road, Unit G225B) is closed from now until Nov. 23 to accommodate the transfer of office equipment.
Walnut Creek area customers can also visit nearby field offices in Concord (2070 Diamond Blvd.) and Pittsburg (1399 Buchanan Rd.), in addition to the field office in Pleasanton at 6300 W. Las Positas Blvd.
The DMV encourages customers to use its online and expanded virtual services and other service channels for transactions such as driver’s license and vehicle registration renewals. A service adviser is available on the DMV website to help customers learn about their options for completing DMV tasks: dmv.ca.gov.
