Questions, corrections or feedback about California DMV Appointments
Contact us by email with questions about our website, a correction to one of our guides, or feedback on a tool. We’re an independent informational website, so we can’t help with your own license, appointment or vehicle record. The California DMV handles those, and this page shows you how to reach it.

What Not to Send and What Happens Next
We can’t see DMV records, so we never need personal documents or numbers. Here’s how we handle your email once it arrives. Our Privacy Policy has the full details.

Leave these out of your email, even if you’re asking about them:
- Driver’s license or ID numbers
