Appointment at 10:00. Got there at 9:45. Front desk verified by paperwork. After over a 2 hour wait, they tell me I don’t have the correct paperwork. Nice job.

Wouldn’t even give this place a star. Drove to DMV on Saturday to find all DMVs don’t offer Saturdays. Came at 7am since appt not available until December, only to be turned away because didn’t have appointment and said best bet would be to come at 5am to be first person when doors open at 7am. This is the most backward DMV state I ever lived!!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I recommend appointment so that you are not waiting all day. They take appointment scheduled people first. We did that back in October for the first level and early this month for 2nd level and we were in and out in less than an hour both times.

do i need an appointment for a new id

Rainy Ham | Dec 3, 2021
Jennifer Flynn | Dec 3, 2021

If you can get an appointment that accommodates you, definitely make one. I was in line twice, 1st for 2 1/2 hours only to get turned away when I was next. They are super busy and understaffed. The next day I was in line for 4 1/2 hours but I did get in and it was quick. However there is no guarantee that they will be able to get to you because appointments take priority. If you do go, go early and expect to be there for quite a while. Take a drink and snack also. I think we do need to consider that the staff is doing the best they can.

Right now this office is only accepting appointments, no walk-ins.

Road tests are slowly starting up again, see the dmv website to know which offices will be offering them, and schedule online. Every service at the drivers license office is offered by appointment only for now.

I HOPE they do. If they don't, I might also look to see what other numbers for the DMV might be listed... I know getting a live person is the goal. Leave messages, etc. Good luck, and I'm sorry.

I would HOPE they have your answer on the NCDMV website, but I would imagine you might be able to email the DMV and ask them directly. Good luck!

How do I reach someone to schedule an appointment to bring my 95 year old mother to the Monroe DMV to get an I.D. card?

Dr Susan Chandler | Sep 30, 2019
Sky Broome | Sep 30, 2019

I would say that an appointment would be a really good idea for your mother, so I don't blame you for asking. You have to call the DMV office directly and speak to someone to schedule an appointment. From what I understand, appointments get taken pretty quickly, so I would suggest calling as soon as possible... It will be a matter of what dates and times are available, so you'll have to take what they have. Explain your mother's age... Worst case, they might suggest you come when you can and let them know you're there so they can bring you to the front of the line. Hope this helps! Dr. Chandler, I saw your follow-up question about the number. I don't know, but I went online a couple of months ago to do that very thing at another location and found the phone numbers on the NC DMV website. But... While in Monroe, I saw the appointment book on the front desk, and I also saw them usher an older woman in a wheelchair that did NOT have an appointment up to the front of the line. Good luck!
