RALEIGH – Most N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles driver license and license plate agency offices in central and eastern North Carolina remain closed on Wednesday due to flooding and power outages following Hurricane Florence.

Some NCDMV offices could be closed for several days, depending on the conditions in areas most affected by Florence, which has already forced the closure of hundreds of roads in North Carolina.

Before heading out, individuals are urged to check the status of any driver license office or license plate agency they plan to visit on the office locations page of the official NCDMV website.

NCDMV’s main call center, located in Bladen County, reopened Wednesday with limited staff. Customers may experience longer wait times when calling the Customer Service Center.

Residents in areas where offices are closed, or extremely busy, should visit MyNCDMV.gov to complete the following services online:

Order duplicate license and ID cards
Order driving records
Renew vehicle registration
Order duplicate registration cards
Order personalized and specialized plates
Pay insurance lapse penalties
Pay commercial insurance lapse penalties
Pay vehicle property taxes
Renew International Registration Plan (IRP)
View personal driving and vehicle records at MyDMV
Once regular services resume, drivers who have appointments at the affected driver license offices will be contacted to reschedule their appointments.

 

The statewide information line can provide callers with nearby shelter, housing and other storm-related details. Dial 2-1-1 or 888-892-1162, or text Florence to 898211. The information line is staffed around the clock to connect North Carolinians to storm resources.

 

The North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund is available for donations to support North Carolina’s response to Hurricane Florence. To donate, visit governor.nc.gov or text FLORENCE to 20222.
