ROCKY MOUNT – The N. C Division of Motor Vehicles is set to repeatedly expand service hours at its driver license practices beginning next year.
On April 7, 42 offices ( listed below ) will join 50 others opening an hour early at 7 a. m., offering an extra hour of appointments and service time.
” I am overjoyed that we are able to more expand our company time”, said DMV Commissioner Wayne Goodwin. ” Beginning April 7, 80 % of our 115 drivers license practices will be open for 10 hours a day, Monday through Friday, from 7 a. m. to 5 p. m.

Five more headquarters were added in September 2024 to get to 50. The list of 50 practices now opening at 7 a. m. can be found .
