El Cajon DMV

Official information

🌐 Languages

CA written knowledge test is officially offered in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Armenian, Farsi, Punjabi, Russian, Tagalog, and ASL; the online knowledge test is offered in 35 languages (the full list is not published by the DMV); the driver handbook is available in 9 languages. Korean is not among the enumerated in-office written-test languages (it appears only in DMV interpreter/handbook materials); it may or may not be among the unlisted 35 online languages — we do not claim it. No office-specific language-service reports were found in community sources for this office.

Arabic is NOT among the enumerated written-test languages (see the menu above). Separately, under California's Dymally-Alatorre Bilingual Services Act, state offices are to provide in-person bilingual assistance where a substantial share of the public served speaks a non-English language, and a CalHR state language survey lists Arabic among languages served in San Diego — this concerns in-person counter assistance, not the written-test language menu, and we do not assert specific Arabic staffing at this office.
