They were really nice and there wasn't any waiting time when I showed up at 11:30AM. It took me about 10 mins to complete the process.

Thanks!! And yeah the website does give you a list. I was so excited I literally walked out when I got the SS# that i grabbed what I thought was acceptable without checking much. Any mail from local, state and federal government is a go. Utility bills too as long as they (if you take more than one) are from different companies, and bank records. Like i said, i just took what was at hand and left, but you should double check your dates and maybe take a backup just in case. It sure doesn't seem like the DMV people are nice or helpful, and their job seems to be aimed at moving the lines of people along. When i took computer test and was hanging around I saw a girl get sent home from the road test because one of her lights was out. They made her reschedule. They are not kidding about requirements. I went on a Friday and got done at 4:45 pm, almost 5 hours and they announced the DMV would lock the door at 5 pm and would take care of the people already inside building but would not allow anyone to come back in from going out after 5. I'm certain they stayed a good 3 hours after 5 because the building was packed, and none of the employees looked happy. So moral of the story: be preppared to not be shut down and sent home. Also, take a mirror to double check your hair prior to taking pic 'cause I forgot my purse with it and my pic is terrible! I have a weird loop sticking out at a random place about 2 inches long lol... that DMV lady was mean to not ask me to retake the pic! Good luck!

Did everyone get a print out that you applied for a social? I didn't and when I asked the guy said no, just wait two weeks. I went to the SSA office in Pasadena.
