Book your Roseville DMV appointment online or by phone

The Roseville DMV office is located in Placer County, and you can schedule an appointment through the California DMV website or by calling the office directly. Most people book online because you can see available times when ready and choose the slot that works for you. The phone number for the Roseville office is (916) 786-2600, and staff can book you over the phone if you prefer to speak with someone.

You do not need an appointment to visit the DMV, but having one means a shorter wait. Walk-ins are served after appointments, so arriving without a reservation can add an hour or more to your time there. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closed on weekends and state holidays.

Key Takeaways

  • Book online at dmv.ca.gov or call (916) 786-2600 to schedule an appointment at the Roseville location.
  • The Roseville DMV is at 1410 Cirby Way, Roseville, CA 95661, and serves Placer County residents and others in the region.
  • Appointments are available Monday through Friday during business hours, and you can usually find an opening within one to two weeks.
  • Bring all required documents for your specific transaction — a missing document will delay you even with an appointment.

Steps to book online through the DMV website

Go to dmv.ca.gov and click "Schedule an Appointment" at the top of the page. Select "Roseville" from the office dropdown menu. The system will show you which services are available at that location — not all DMV offices handle every transaction type, so confirm yours is offered there before you proceed.

Next, choose the service you need: driver's license renewal, identification card, vehicle registration, smog check, or another transaction. The website will then display available dates and times. Pick the appointment that fits your schedule and enter your contact information. You will receive a confirmation number by email and text message. Save this number — you will need it when you arrive.

If the website shows no appointments available, the Roseville office is temporarily full. Check back the next day or try a different nearby location like Citrus Heights or Carmichael. Appointments often open up as people cancel.

What to bring to your Roseville DMV appointment

The documents you need depend on your transaction type. For a driver's license renewal, bring your current license, proof of residency (utility bill, lease, or bank statement), and your Social Security number. If you are renewing an ID card, bring the same items. For vehicle registration, bring your vehicle registration notice, proof of insurance, and proof of residency.

Proof of residency must show your current address and your name. A utility bill dated within the last two months, a lease agreement, a mortgage statement, or a bank statement all work. If you recently moved and do not have a document in your new name yet, bring a lease or utility bill plus a piece of mail from a government agency showing your new address.

Bring your appointment confirmation number and a valid form of identification. Arriving without required documents is the most common reason people have to reschedule, so double-check the DMV website for your specific service before you go.

The Roseville DMV location and parking

The Roseville DMV is at 1410 Cirby Way, Roseville, CA 95661. It is located off Highway 50 near the intersection of Cirby Way and Sunrise Boulevard. Parking is available in the lot directly in front of the building. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your appointment time to allow for parking and check-in.

The office is accessible and has restrooms available. If you have mobility concerns or other needs, call (916) 786-2600 ahead of time to let staff know, and they can arrange accommodations.

What happens if you miss or need to change your appointment

If you cannot make your appointment, cancel it through the DMV website or call (916) 786-2600 as soon as you know. Canceling frees up the slot for someone else and prevents a no-show on your record. You can reschedule when ready after canceling.

If you miss an appointment without canceling, you may be charged a no-show fee or have to wait longer for your next opening. If you are running late, call the office right away. Staff sometimes can work you in if you are only a few minutes behind, but do not count on it.

Nearby DMV offices if Roseville is full

Both offices handle most of the same services as Roseville.

The Folsom DMV (2500 East Bidwell Street, Folsom, CA 95630) is also in the region and sometimes has availability when other offices are booked. Check all three locations before deciding to wait for Roseville.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance can I book a Roseville DMV appointment?

You can typically schedule an appointment up to 60 days in advance through the online system. If you need an appointment sooner, check back daily — cancellations open up slots regularly, sometimes within a few days.

Can I do my DMV transaction by mail instead of going in person?

Some transactions like driver's license renewal can be done by mail if you meet certain requirements — your license must not be expired by more than five years, and you must not have any medical conditions or restrictions that need updating. Check dmv.ca.gov to see if your specific transaction qualifies for mail service.

What if I do not have proof of residency?

You can bring two documents that together show your name and address, such as a lease plus a piece of mail from a government agency, or a utility bill plus a bank statement. Call (916) 786-2600 before your appointment to confirm what combination the office will accept.

Is there a fee to schedule an appointment?

No. Scheduling an appointment is free. You will pay the standard DMV fee for your transaction when you complete it at the office.

Can someone else go to my appointment for me?

No. You must be present for your appointment. The DMV requires you to verify your identity and sign documents in person for most transactions.
