Saturday Service Hours Temporarily Suspended at 16 Driver License Offices
Changes in operations in response to COVID-19 Delta variant

ROCKY MOUNT – Starting Sept. 4, the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles will temporarily suspend its Saturday services at the 16 driver license offices where services were available, to better protect customers and staff from the spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant.

Temporarily suspending Saturday hours will reduce potential COVID exposures, as examiners who work on Saturdays typically travel from several offices to work together in one office.

Saturday service hours from 8 a.m.-noon will be suspended at the following driver license offices:

• Asheville, 1624 Patton Ave.
• Charlotte, 9711 David Taylor Dr.
• Charlotte, 201-H W. Arrowood Rd.
• Durham, 3825 S. Roxboro St., Suite 119
• Fayetteville, 831 Elm St.
• Greensboro, 2527 E. Market St.
• Greensboro, 2391 Coliseum Blvd.
• Greenville, 4651 North Creek Dr.
• Hendersonville, 125 Baystone Dr.
• Hudson, 309 Pine Mountain Rd.
• Huntersville, 12101 Mount Holly-Huntersville Rd.
• Jacksonville, 299 Wilmington Hwy.
• Monroe, 3122 U.S. Hwy. 74 W.
• Raleigh, 2431 Spring Forest Rd., Suite 101
• Wilmington, 2390 Carolina Beach Rd., Suite 104
• Winston-Salem, 2001 Silas Creek Pkwy.

Saturday extended hours will be suspended until NCDMV determines it is safer to resume Saturday service. Saturday hours are for walk-in customers only.

Saturday hours were originally suspended in March 2020 due to the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic. Saturday services resumed in May 2021.
