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.
