Can I go to the local DMV Field Office to apply for a Motor Carrier Permit?
No. The single point of contact for all matters related to participation or information concerning the Motor Carrier Permit program is the MCP Branch located at DMV Headquarters, in Sacramento, California. For those carriers who prefer to hand deliver their applications and fees to DMV, a drop box marked “Motor Carrier Permit” has been installed in the lobby of Building West at DMV Headquarters in Sacramento, CA. To obtain additional information that may not be provided on this site, call (916) 657-8153.
