This is the second Saturday I got here at 6am and waited for the doors to open and they didn’t. Called during the week to confirm that they had Saturday day walk in appointments and was told they did. No sign on the door either time stating they are closed. Just an awful way to be treated and complete indifference to the value of our time!!!!!

If you don't have an appointment arrive at 6:30 am with all of the documents you need. I arrived at 6:45, was ~15th in line, and got done with my license upgrade by 8:30. At 7:00 when they open a very friendly staff member came out to greet us, make sure we had everything we needed, and then welcomed us inside as space permitted. Service was pleasant and as quick as it could be for how busy they are. My final piece of advice is to schedule an appointment/upgrade online ahead of time to cut the line.

I don't recommended this DMV strongly. Especially, the front counter lady is so rude. She asked me "Why are you coming here today?" after me waiting for 4 hours! She was the person telling me to have a seat to wait. I felt she was a psychopath to be honest. And, an examiner was also rude.

After 30 days they expect you to change your driver license to your current address. Now if you are just visiting and you can prove it they should not have an issue with it. And if you are buying alcohol or cigarette here. They people are stupid and will call cops cause they think your driver license is fake just wait for the cops if its real they will be able to identify it trust me had an AZ license and counter pe rson kept my license and calleed cops he looked stupid at the end a d lost business i also called his manager on him he got fired.

What do I have to do to get a North Carolina driver's license
Dorothy Williams | Aug 26, 2022
Nikita Jones | Aug 26, 2022
Depends. If you haven't gotten one yet, it's best to have an I'd and your social security in hand before you take the permit test. If you pass the test which has almost 30 questions, they'll send you to take the on the road test. Best way to get that is to study the handbook. Some questions on the test aren't from the book so try to have some knowledge about pedestrians and other drivers. Especially when it comes to drunk driving and police officers.

Appts:
_before Covid was ~1-2 wks
_now it's ~3-10 wks
DMV has 3 parts:
1) Driver's License = (state employees) appt & sometimes early walk-ins, except motorcycle tests.
2) Title & Tag = (often contractors) first-come, first served.
3) Theft... [waivers, too] = (state...) usu. open 08:00-10:00 Mon-Thur, since they do so many off-site tasks

How much does a change of title cost? We paid off our leased auto and we want to change the title to our name. Thanks, Nathan
nathan dry | Apr 19, 2022
Edge WOOD | Apr 19, 2022
The title must be assigned to the purchaser BEFORE coming into the License Plate Agency. The purchaser will then pay $56 to transfer the title, and plate fee which starts at $38.75. Property tax, and 3% of the vehicles computer generated value in Highway Use Tax

Jason Lyoo | Mar 20, 2022
From what I heard when I got there, they do NOT accept faxes anymore. You'll have to visit them in-person with the document and an appointment.
They do walk-in lines outside of the office but you'll have to be super lucky to let you in.. I recommend you to make an appointment if you're visiting there.
I am trying to track down my son's ID card. We had an appointment in early November and he still has not received his card. I can't seem to call the number b/c it keeps disconnecting me, how can I follow up on his ID card?
Tamiko Brown | Mar 20, 2022
Edge WOOD | Mar 20, 2022
Take all his personal information and go directly to the dmv office at either Avent Ferry Rd location or in North Raleigh at the shopping center at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Millbrook Rd . Trying to call is impossible to get anyone. Go to either branch and bring all his personal info and they will get him a duplicate ID on the spot. But please go early in the morning as possible.

Yes, they are taking walk-ins. Keep in mind that those with appointments are serviced before those in the walk-in line even if you have been standing in line for a long time. We got there around 6:30 or 7am and we're helped pretty quickly.

Sylvia K. | Nov 20, 2021
Yagmur Basak Bayraktar | Nov 20, 2021
No, not if you have your documents. If you believe you can pass the road test you do not need to get permit first. However you have add yourself to the insurance of the car you'll drive, which is one of the required documents.
Do they have walk-ins?
Gail Joseph | Sep 16, 2021
Adeba Mohammed Naveed | Sep 16, 2021

You can get most of the info online and if it's not online then you're better off going there anyway cause on the phone you don't always get all the info.

Do you have to own a car to get liscence if an adult? Do you have to prove you are under an auto in your name to apply for driver's liscence?
Hunter C Bell | Sep 17, 2018
Tommy Mills | Sep 17, 2018
No you don't have to own a car to get a license, but you will need the use of one to be able to take the driving test.
Call or go in person. Arriving early (15 mins or so) assures you will get the correct guidance from the Staff and not spend all day waiting just to ask.
