ROCKY MOUNT – The N.C Division of Motor Vehicles is set to again extend service hours at its driver license offices beginning next week.

On April 7, 42 offices will join 50 others opening an hour early at 7 a.m., offering an extra hour of appointments and service time.

This new directive impacts three DMV offices in the local area: Ahoskie, Edenton, and Roanoke Rapids.

“I am ecstatic that we are able to further expand our service hours,” said DMV Commissioner Wayne Goodwin. “Beginning April 7, 80 percent of our 115 driver license offices will be open for 10 hours a day, Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

NCDMV has continued to work to provide customers with more service hours to address the state’s growing population. In September 2022, the division increased the number of offices that opened at 7 a.m. from 25 to 35. That number grew to 40 in May 2023, and then to 45 in August 2023. Five more offices were added in September 2024 to get to 50.
