New Option Expands Accessibility to Mandarin-Speaking Californians

Sacramento – The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) today announced the expansion of its no-fail eLearning driver’s license renewal course, now available in Traditional Chinese with audio in Mandarin. This new language option offers Mandarin-speaking Californians the opportunity to renew their driver’s license with greater ease and convenience.

The eLearning course, previously available in English and Spanish, can be accessed 24/7 on any internet-enabled device, including computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. The course consists of seven interactive modules, each followed by a quiz, all of which can be retaken multiple times, ensuring a no-fail experience.

“Expanding our services to include a Chinese language option is part of our ongoing commitment to serve all Californians,” said DMV Director Steve Gordon. “We are dedicated to providing flexible and accessible options for DMV services, allowing our customers to complete their transactions when, where, and how it is most convenient for them.”

Since its introduction in 2022, the eLearning renewal course has become a popular choice among Californians, with nearly 50,000 participants completing the course each month. The course takes approximately 45 minutes to complete and is designed to accommodate individuals who may prefer a non-traditional learning method or who may have difficulty with standard exams. Upon completion, some customers may need to visit a DMV office to finalize their renewal by taking a photo, providing a thumbprint and undergoing a vision screening.

In addition to the eLearning course, the DMV continues to offer its online knowledge test in 35 languages. The online test can be taken on a computer or laptop with a webcam and is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., excluding state holidays. Participants are required to verify their identity and agree to monitoring throughout the exam as a measure to prevent fraud.

Antes de ir a una oficina- Primero intente en línea

El DMV ha tomado varias medidas para ofrecer más servicios digitales. La mayoría de los trámites del DMV no requieren una visita a la oficina, incluidas algunas transacciones simples de autoservicio que ya no están disponibles en las oficinas. El DMV invita a los clientes a utilizar los servicios en línea y otros medios de servicio para completar transacciones, como pueden ser renovaciones elegibles de licencias de manejo y registro de vehículos. Los clientes también pueden usar el Asesor de Servicios en el sitio web del DMV para conocer sus opciones y completar trámites del DMV.

Para recibir notificaciones eléctronicas sobre renovaciones de registro de vehículos y licencias de manejo, los clientes pueden optar por este servicio al crear una cuenta segura en línea y registrándose en dmv.ca.gov y luego inscribirse.
