ROCKY MOUNT – The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles on Friday closed a license plate agency in Southport.
The current agency, located at 4831 Port Loop Rd., Unit 105, was closed following the discovery of several contract violations. In North Carolina, NCDMV oversees license plate agencies, but the agencies are managed by private businesses or local governments. The Southport agency had been operated by Vera Martin since 2008.
License plate agencies offer vehicle registration services and title transactions, as well as vehicle license plate renewals, replacement tags and duplicate registrations. Currently, 126 license plate agencies operate in North Carolina.
Three nearby license plate agencies offer service Monday through Friday:
• Bolivia, 30 Government Dr. N.E., 8 a.m.-5 p.m., 910-253-2712
• Shallotte, 5300 S. Main St., 8 a.m.-4 p.m., 910-754-4591
• Wilmington, 2390 Carolina Beach Rd., Suite 108, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., 910-763-6752
In addition, services such as property tax payments and registration renewals can be completed online at MyNCDMV.gov.
