ROCKY MOUNT – A new N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles driver license office will open Monday, Oct. 5, in Tabor City. The office will be located at 119 Lynwood Norris Road, across from the Lake Tabor Boat Ramp, and will operate Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., except on state holidays.
Funding for the new two person office was included in state budget passed by the N.C. General Assembly and signed by Governor Josh Stein in July.
The office will serve walk in customers and those with scheduled appointments and will offer basic road skills testing. Commercial driver license and motorcycle skills testing will not be available at this location.
“This new office is another important step in expanding access to DMV services for communities across our state,” said NCDMV Commissioner Paul Tine. “As North Carolina continues to grow, we are committed to meeting people where they are, reducing wait times, and ensuring customers can get the services they need as efficiently as possible.”
This opening is part of a broader statewide expansion of DMV services. In the last year, NCDMV has opened new driver license offices in Garland (Sampson County), Leland (Brunswick County), and on Fort Bragg (Cumberland County), as well as an expanded and relocated East Charlotte office in Mecklenburg County. Additional offices are scheduled to open in 2027 in Fuquay Varina and Wake Forest in Wake County, in Concord in Cabarrus County, and at Camp Lejeune in Onslow County.
NCDMV encourages customers to review office locations and hours at and to use online services for transactions such as license renewals, duplicates, and address changes to avoid unnecessary in person visits. Customers can also check current wait times at before heading to an office.

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.
