Didn't know about setting an appointment, but they worked me in and the lady that I dealt with was soo very nice and very knowledgeable!

We made an appointment (yes it was weeks out but no place had enough help). We were seen close to our appt time. The DMV officer was incredibly kind and patient with my special needs sister so she could get the Real ID.

The wait was long but they were so very nice despite people yelling and cussing at them, there's only two people working. I just want to say thank you for being so kind to my son, and I'm sorry for others. Please know you made a difference today, even if they didn't make you feel that way.

I took my brother to renew his NC ID on June 30 about 2:30pm. The DMV rep told us he just stopped accepting walkins 15 min ago and my brother could make an appt. The next appt was Aug and his ID would be expired. We were told if my brother comes in the morning when they opened he may get his ID as a walk in. We came Tue July 5. Arrived at 7:35am before opening along with 2 ladies who did not have an appt. When the DMV opened at 8am the rep said he was taking appts only. So we came twice in one weeks time and were turned away. We don't have a computer. The DMV is supposed to take some walkins. I moved from FL. We never had a horrible experience with the DMV in FL. The Newton DMV is anti customer service. The DMV rep said we could drive to Hickory or Morganton. Why would I want to waste gas when we live near the Newton DMV. Horrible experience. What's going on at the Newton DMV?

Did you ever find out the answer to this? I have the same question. Lady at DMV told my son to come back next Thursday but there is not an available appointment on that day.

Each time I have went, they seemed to be very busy. With only 3 - 4 on staff.

can I just walk in for a road test?

Aarya Lotwala | Jun 29, 2022
Amber Richardson | Jun 29, 2022

Yes you can walk up. BUT those who have an appointment will get to go before you and then they go to those who walked up. I would recommend making an appointment. I saw about 10 people wait hours and still was there waiting when I left. Hope this helps.

Is the Newton nc drivers liscenes open tomm. Or is it closed due to a virus

Gina Carpenter | Apr 30, 2022
Jeffrey Hall | Apr 30, 2022

It's open but I would suggest scheduling an appointment although they did see walk in arrivals while I was there. Be sure to have all documentation needed because they ask for everything before entry.

Terra Norton | Mar 31, 2022
rob g | Mar 31, 2022

Yes, technically you can. But they will only work you in around scheduled appointments. I showed up right at 8am. There were only 2 appointments that showed up and we ended up being the 6th person in line. We were done in about 30 minutes. This was at the license office in Newton.

Is this location doing road testing for teens to get their license? I am not having any luck locating where to schedule an appointment.

Jennifer Finley | Sep 27, 2021
Waneta Musaeus | Sep 27, 2021

Just go in there with all your information and hard copy proof of insurance. They're not doing road tests they're just giving the license out. They will make them take the sign test over again though.
