Quick answer
In Anaheim, 1.9% of workers take public transit and 10.9% of workers carpool (Census). For qualifying Anaheim drivers, liability-only coverage starts at $31 a month — an advertised starting point, not a quote: your own rate depends on your record, mileage, vehicle and coverage choices, and different carriers price the same driver very differently, which is why we compare. We accept ITIN, Matrícula Consular, and AB-60 licenses.

No SSN in Anaheim: the identity papers DMV takes for an AB 60 license
Anaheim has no DMV field office inside the city; drivers without a Social Security number apply for an AB 60 license at offices such as Fullerton or Westminster, and whether one identity document is enough depends on which country issued it and which version you hold.
One document or two
DMV’s AB 60 checklist accepts a single identity document only from a short list. For Mexican applicants that means a passport issued in 2008 or later with a digital photo and digital signature, the INE voter credential (2014 version), the IFE credential (2013 version), or the matrícula consular in its 2014 or 2022 version. A California license or ID card issued in October 2000 or later also stands alone.
Central American papers sit on the two-document list instead: Guatemala’s DPI (2012 version) and consular card (2002 or 2015), El Salvador’s DUI (2010 or 2022) and the Honduran consular ID (August 2017 version), among others. Without two of them, the application goes to secondary review, where DMV looks at school records, U.S. tax returns, court papers and birth documents. If a foreign document has to be replaced, DMV points applicants to their country’s consulate.
The consulate and the DMV offices around Anaheim
DMV names Fullerton (909 W Valencia Drive) and Westminster (13700 Hoover Street) as the closest offices taking license applications. Both keep weekday hours, opening at 9 a.m. on Wednesdays, and both have a kiosk on site; the Santa Ana office on East First Street is also on DMV’s nearby list. Inside Anaheim, DMV runs one kiosk, at the Ralphs on South Brookhurst Street, open 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. DMV describes kiosks as stations for certain registration services and records; a first license application is finished at a field office appointment.
For Mexican papers, Anaheim falls to the consulate in Santa Ana, whose district lists every Orange County city, Anaheim, Fullerton and Westminster among them. It sits at 2100 E. 4th Street, is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and books passports, matrículas consulares and voter credentials by appointment through citas.sre.gob.mx.
The insurance you need on test day
The last step before the license is the behind-the-wheel test, and DMV will not start it until you show the test car is insured. It accepts a document with the liability policy number, a current binder, written confirmation from the insurer, or a rental contract that lists you as an insured driver and does not exclude driving tests. Plan the policy, or the borrowed car’s, before you book the test.

Anaheim & Orange County
84 cyclists were killed or injured on Anaheim streets that year, and a cyclist injury is a liability claim long before it is anything else. 263 fatal or injury collisions in Anaheim happened between 9pm and 3am, the hours when a single bad decision can become a claim and a conviction at once. 5.7% of Anaheim households do not have a vehicle at all, which is one reason non-owner and named-operator policies come up here. 28.8% of households here keep three or more vehicles, so who drives which car is a question worth settling on the application in Anaheim. The average one-way commute in Anaheim runs about 28 minutes, and mileage is one of the few rating factors you can actually change. 9.3% of Anaheim workers now work from home — and if your car stopped commuting, your policy should say so, because annual miles are part of the rate.
