Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Schedule Changes Beginning Monday, May 1, all customer services statewide will be provided on a walk-in basis after noon. Appointments will only be available in the mornings through the 11 a.m. hour and can be booked at skiptheline.ncdot.gov. Even with this change, walk-in customers may still have the opportunity for morning-hour service if there is time between scheduled appointments or if a customer does not appear for a scheduled appointment. Estimated Office Wait Time to be Available Online Soon As appointment scheduling shifts toward more walk-ins, a new feature will soon be available on the NCDMV office locations webpage to show the public the current estimated wait time at driver license offic- es. This will allow customers to see the current estimated wait time at different locations so they can make the best decision on which office to go to, or whether they want to try again another day. Saturday Hours Begin June 3 As in years past, NCDMV is preparing to offer Saturday hours at 16 locations this summer during its peak season. These offices will open from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays from June 3 to Aug. 26: Asheville, Charlotte-University City, Charlotte South, Fayetteville West, Greensboro East, Greensboro West, Green- ville, Hudson, Huntersville, Jacksonville, Monroe, Morganton, Raleigh North, Raleigh West, Wilmington South, and Winston-Salem South. DMV is exploring the potential for adding more Saturday locations as staffing levels permit. Tips to Improve Your DMV Experience DMV offers the following tips for an improved customer experience: • Renew early— Don't wait until the last minute to renew your driver license. DMV sends a reminder card to the address on file six months before the expiration date. Customers can renew at any time during this six-month window. • Renew online — In most cases, unless they renewed online last time, customers can renew their cre- dential online. • Be prepared — Check the DMV website to make sure you bring the required documentation for your desired service. One frequently forgotten item is a printed document proving liability insurance. • REAL ID — Customers have more time to get their REAL ID as the federal implementation date requir- ing a REAL ID to fly commercially or to visit federal, military and nuclear facilities has been moved back two years to May 7, 2025.
