DMV to extend hours at 42 offices across North Carolina

The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles is extending the hours of 42 offices across the state. 

State officials say the expansion is driven by North Carolina’s growing population. 

With this change, 92 of North Carolina’s 115 DMV offices will open at 7 a.m. Starting April 7, new early hours will take effect at locations in Boone, Elkin, Jefferson, Mocksville, Mount Airy, Thomasville, Wilkesboro, and Yadkinville. Offices in larger Triad cities already offer extended service hours.

This may be a good time for residents with older IDs to visit the DMV.  Starting next month, the federal Transportation Security Administration will require REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses to board federally regulated domestic flights.
