WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) will end extended early-morning hours at 90 driver license offices this week after federal funding ran out.
The offices have opened at 7 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. to provide additional customer service time and help address increased demand for driver’s licenses and ID services. The extended hours were funded through a grant from the American Rescue Plan Act State Fiscal Recovery Fund.
