N.C. DMV Extends Service Hours Statewide

The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) is expanding service hours at many of its driver license offices, with new hours starting April 7, 2025. This expansion includes 42 offices opening an hour earlier at 7 a.m., joining 50 others already operating on this schedule, thus allowing for 10-hour weekday service from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. due to increasing population demands. Additionally, the DMV will resume summer Saturday walk-in services from June 7 to August 23, with 20 offices across the state, including new locations in Elizabeth City, Clayton, Durham East, and Kernersville. Commissioner Wayne Goodwin expressed this initiative as part of efforts to accommodate the growing demand for DMV services in North Carolina. This move follows a gradual increase in early opening offices from 25 in September 2022 to 50 by September 2024.
