You can also apply in-person at the Sacramento and Los Angeles offices, located at:
Secretary of State (Sacramento)

Sacramento, CA 95814
Secretary of State (Los Angeles)

Both offices are open 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, and applications are processed in the order they are received.
