California DMV not working for me but the status is fine. What now?

It is usually local: try another browser or the app, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and clear the cache. For government services, watch for portal sign-in failures, forms not submitting, and slow pages during deadlines. If many people report California DMV here at once, the problem is on California DMV's side.
