69 New Driver License Examiners to Help Improve Service at DMV Offices

ROCKY MOUNT – The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles today welcomed 69 new driver license examiners to their ranks as part of an annual graduation ceremony that took place at the DMV headquarters.

These 69 employees, following a five-week training program, will be deployed throughout the state to increase service levels at driver license offices. 

DMV Commissioner Wayne Goodwin remains focused on ways to increase the service levels at DMV offices across the state.

“In the last three years, we have hired over 400 driver license examiners to fill vacancies in offices across our great state,” said Goodwin, “We continue working to attract, hire, train and retain our employees while also introducing both more online technology options and seeking new examiner positions as we try to keep up with our state’s explosive population growth.”

Tips to improve your DMV Experience

While DMV continues work to address its staffing shortage, the division offers the following tips for an improved customer experience:

Renew early – Don’t wait until the last minute to renew your driver license or ID card. 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 credential online.
Make an appointment – Customers with appointments are serviced daily from office when the office opens until noon. Appointments can be scheduled up to 90 days in advance at skiptheline.ncdot.gov​. Again, don’t wait until the last minute. It is not uncommon for the soonest available appointment to be several weeks out.

Walk-in availability – Each full-time driver license office accepts walk-in customers on weekdays from noon-5 p.m. Part-time and express offices service only walk-in customers.

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 still have time to get their REAL ID as the federal implementation date requiring a REAL ID to fly commercially or to visit federal, military, and nuclear facilities is May 7, 2025.

Terms and conditions and other rules


Censoring license plates

If personally identifying license plate information were easily traceable, it wouldn’t be on public display. Posts with intentionally obscured numbers or other features will be removed.

Seeking personal information

This information is not easily accessible. We don’t care that someone cut you off and now you want revenge. NOTE: posts asking to identify state or number or type in a blurry photo are allowed and encouraged.

Being a bigot

Please have respect for the other persons in this website. We all come with different viewpoints and life experiences, but we’re only here to talk about license plates. You can also use the website licenseplatesearch.com to search for a plate or review it.

Mentioning politics

No matter your political leaning, we don’t care about your beliefs. If your post/comment contains something political, even if it’s just a custom plate, we don’t want that here. This includes posting personalized plates pertaining to politics, even if you don’t provide a political comment. NOTE: inaugural license plates are allowed as they represent a significant element of plate-collecting history.

Spamming advertisement posts for services

Do you restore plates? Do you sell low-number tags? Do you have an eBay store? That’s neat! And we believe you should get a shot to showcase your services. However, these sorts of… entrepreneurial posts can often lead to spam, so we’re restricting this sort of posting to once every three months. You must use the “Advertisement” tag if it is a post.

Posting US government plates in collections

U.S. government/diplomat plates come in many forms and can be quite interesting. However, the ones from the past 40 years are also illegal for U.S. civilians to possess. As such, posts like this will be removed. Posts depicting U.S. government/diplomat plates on vehicles, however, are allowed.

Keeping posts on-topic

This website is for discussing license plates in one form or another.

Common repost

Some plates, especially those found in memes, are shared here constantly. We will remove any as we find them. Good rule of thumb: if you found the photo because it was re-shared online, it’s probably something we’ve already seen. This also applies to QQ plates and sovereign citizen plates.

Mod discretion

This website have the final say. Please also read terms and conditions.
