Time to renew my driver's license. I've been coming out to the Taft office the last few years. I made a appointment and was checked in with no waiting, parking was simple.They're were a few customers waiting,, inside seating is limited. I was called back by Lori she was friendly and real good at her job. I passed my vision test without my glasses reviewed and approved all my personal info on a convenient screen metLori and at camera for a picture and a thumb print and I was out the door. Great experience out In Taft

Awesome DMV!Driving back from LA to Sacramento, we decided to stop by this dmv location to get our RealIDs. We were in and out in 10 minutes - for two IDs. Super-friendly and very efficient staff.

If I cannot make it to a AAA location, then I prefer going to this DMV branch in Taft. This branch is pretty small as is to be expected for a small town.After parking in their lot or street parking, just go inside. Make sure to take a number or they will not help you. There is usually two or three people to assist folks.Afternoons tend to be less busy than the mornings from what I've noticed or maybe I have just been lucky. I've never spent more than 15 minutes waiting for my turn though.Unlike the previous reviewer (from my visits here), they do know what they are doing. They do a good job too.

When I received my notice of licence renewal I was dreading the thought of fighting the crowd. Living in Bakersfield we also have the option of driving to Shafter, Delano, or Arvin for an appointment. After doing everything on line I was still going to have to wait 3 weeks for my appointment. On a wim, I decided to take the very pleasant 31 minute drive to the Taft DMV. With no appointment I was happy to find the staff at this location very professional, well organized, and very friendly. Within an hour I was able to take the written text, get my license renewal as well as my "Real ID"! Kudos to the staff for a wonderful experience!

I went to get my tags and they were NOT busy I had an appt and the girl waiting on me was new and being trained she was fine but the lady with long black hair training her was very rude I had taken a check and cash because there wasn't enough in my bank to write a check for the full amount and she was very rude about it. I live in taft but will not go back there I will go to Bakersfield or online sad this town is bad enough without people like her

Hands down the best DMV I've ever visited. I live an hr away.. and prefer to head to a small town office when I have to open a dreaded dmv door.. There was no line. And I wasn't dreaming. 0 people in front of me.. I'm sure there's mishaps etc because we aren't all perfect, but they fixed a few small issues I had super fast and I was out the door. So my experience at this office was perfect. Avoiding the dmv and going the AAA route for years is convenient, but obviously some things can't be done at AAA.. The benefits of visiting a small town dmv as opposed to a big city office is amazing. Thanks for the help and you all rock!

Crystal and the folks at Taft DMV were helpful, patient and kind with us today. Not everyone is these days. We had a few tough problems and without Crystal's help, would have been still been trying to get it figured out. Much gratitude, Jim and Ben.... ps, everyone there was terrific

Don't waste your time here. Waited an hour just to pay my tags, and when I was called the employee kept talking to the lady next to her about her daughter and pigs. Hurry up and do your job people!!!!
