Despite Village residents championing a letter-writing campaign and staging protests, as well as seven state assemblymembers and four state senators sending a signed a letter to California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Director Steve Gordon asking him to prioritize the constituents of South Orange County and reconsider the closure of the Laguna Hills office, the agency remains firm in its plans to permanently close its Laguna Hills branch, located at 23535 Moulton Parkway, at 5 p.m. on Friday, October 18. 

According to the state agency, тАЬthe Laguna Hills office … does not meet the current needs of the DMV.тАЭ

This closure will pose a significant challenge to older adults in South Orange County. While many transactions are available online, some still require in-person appointments. Both are critical for seniors and, after October 18, these transactions will require trips to Santa Ana, San Clemente or Costa Mesa.
