What is the name of the sloth who works at the DMV in Zootopia?

The story behind the answer

The sloth who works at Zootopia’s DMV is named Flash Slothmore.

Flash works at the Department of Mammal Vehicles, a deliberately slow-moving parody of a motor-vehicle office. Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde visit him while tracing the vehicle connected to the disappearance of Emmitt Otterton. Flash takes an unusually long time to retrieve the information, turning a routine records request into one of the film’s most memorable comic scenes.

His first name is a joke: Flash is presented as the DMV’s “fastest” sloth, even though his movements and speech are extremely slow. The character’s deadpan timing became one of the film’s signature gags. His full name, Flash Slothmore, is less commonly remembered than his first name, but the quiz’s answer is the canonical character name.

Flash later appears driving a sports car, revealing that the apparently sluggish DMV employee can enjoy a very different kind of speed behind the wheel. He also appears with his partner Priscilla during the film’s closing concert sequence.
