Services available at the Bastrop location

The Bastrop DMV handles standard driver's license and ID card services, including new licenses, renewals, replacements, and address changes. You can also handle vehicle registration renewals, title transfers, duplicate titles, and vehicle registration changes at this location.

Not all services are available at every office. The Bastrop location does not issue commercial driver's licenses (CDL) — those require a visit to a larger regional office. For CDL services, you will need to travel to Austin or another designated CDL testing site. The staff at Bastrop can tell you which location nearest to you offers CDL services when you call.

What documents to bring for a driver's license or ID card

For a new driver's license or ID card, bring your original birth certificate or U.S. passport. You also need proof of your Social Security number — this can be your Social Security card, a W-2 form, a 1099 form, or a Social Security benefit statement. Bring two documents proving your current address, such as a utility bill, lease agreement, bank statement, or government mail dated within the last 30 days.

If you are renewing a license that is not yet expired, you may be able to renew by mail or online instead of visiting the office. Check the Texas DMV website to see whether your situation qualifies for mail or online renewal. If you are renewing an expired license, you will likely need to visit in person.

What documents to bring for vehicle registration and title services

For vehicle registration renewal, bring your current registration card, proof of insurance, and a valid ID. If you are transferring a title, bring the current title (signed by the seller), a bill of sale, proof of insurance, and your ID. For a duplicate title, bring your ID and proof of ownership.

Vehicle registration renewals can often be completed online or by mail through the Texas DMV website, which may save you a trip to Bastrop. The online renewal option is available if your vehicle has no liens, your address is current, and you have not had any violations or changes to report. Check the Texas DMV website to see whether your renewal qualifies for online processing.

Address changes and other common transactions

You can change your address on your driver's license or ID card at the Bastrop DMV. Bring your current license or ID, proof of your new address (utility bill, lease, or bank statement dated within 30 days), and a valid ID if you are changing someone else's address. Address changes can often be completed online or by mail as well — the Texas DMV website will show you whether your situation qualifies.

If you need a duplicate driver's license or ID card because yours was lost or stolen, bring your current ID (if you have one), proof of your Social Security number, and proof of your address. If your license was stolen, you may also want to file a report with local police, though this is not required by the DMV.

Appointment scheduling and wait times

Scheduling an appointment online through the Texas DMV website is the fastest way to reserve your time slot. You can also call (512) 303-7000 to book over the phone. Appointments typically fill up several weeks in advance during peak times, so plan ahead if you have a specific date in mind.

Walk-in service is available for some transactions, but wait times can be long, especially during lunch hours and late afternoon. If you do walk in without an appointment, arrive early in the morning for the shortest wait. The staff can tell you on arrival whether your specific service can be handled as a walk-in or whether you will need to schedule an appointment and return.
