Without advance fanfare, a mobile Driver’s License Unit moved into the annex at the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre at 405 Brooks Monday and will return there on the first and third Monday each month from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The itinerant office will have two driver license examiner stations, mirroring the driver license services in permanent offices. The nearest permanent offices for drivers’ licenses are in Raleigh or Louisburg; there is a license plate office on South Main Street in Wake Forest.
The Division of Motor Vehicles’ new compact mobile office is part of Governor Pat McCrory’s initiative to improve customer service and reduce wait times at the DMV. “This first of its kind mobile office allows us to connect all North Carolinians to the services they need, regardless of where they live,” McCrory said. “This one-stop shop allows customers to handle all their motor vehicle needs close to home.”
“This new unit not only gives us new flexibility, but it also offers a completely new tool in our toolbox for serving DMV customers,” said Department of Transportation Secretary Nick Tennyson. “It is the first of its kind, and we would not be at all surprised to have other jurisdictions in the country show an interest in this new concept.”
The mobile office will return to Wake Forest on Monday, March 21, at 9 a.m.
