The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) is on the hunt for a new private contractor or local government to run a license plate agency in Mount Olive. The call for applicants comes after the sad news that the longtime operator, Karen Andrews, passed away. Andrews had been at the helm of the agency, rooted at 225 N. Center St., since 1987 before its permanent closure on August 26.
The state's policy is such that whenever there's a vacancy or an emergent need for a new license plate agency within a given county, the application process is opened up to find a suitable contender. Completed applications are to be submitted to the NCDMV no later than September 27. The required forms, MVR-93I, MVR-93B, or MVR-93M, can be easily downloaded from the Connect NCDOT website.
License plate agencies serve as vital community hubs, facilitating a variety of vehicle-related services that include registration, title transactions, license plate renewals, replacement tags, and more. In the state of North Carolina, there's a network of 125 such agencies already in operation.
Mount Olive residents in need of these services can find alternative options at nearby locations in Goldsboro, Clinton, and Kinston. Each of these agencies are open from Monday through Friday, briskly operating from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For additional inquiries, potential applicants may reach out to the NCDMV at 919-615-8521.
