Division of Motor Vehicles today wel- comed 65 new driver li- cense examiners to their ranks as part of a bian- nual graduation ceremony that took place at the DMV headquarters. These 65 employees, following a five-week train- ing program, will be de- ployed throughout the state to increase service levels at driver's license offices. This class is in addition to 57 employees who gradu- ated in May. DMV Commissioner Wayne Goodwin remains focused on ways to in- crease the service levels at DMV offices across the state. The primary strategy to accomplish those goals is to add more driver's li- cense examiners. Like many industries nation- wide, DMV has faced a staffing shortage that has affected service levels. "In the last two years, we have added over 250 driver license examiners to offices across our great state," said Goodwin, "We continue working to at- tract, hire, train, and keep our employees in this chal- lenging labor market. Hiring these additional examiners and introducing more on- line technology options are helping us shorten lines and wait times." Last year, in an effort to hire new employees, the division increased the start- ing salary for driver license examiners while existing employees received a pay increase. DMV has also implemented additional hir- ing and retention bonuses. New positions may be added daily, and the appli- cation periods typically last for up to a week. In some cases, multiple people can be hired from a single post- ing. The new examiner and her duty station nearby is Ayesha Smith, who is as- signed to Shelby. Tips to Improve Your DMV Experience While DMV continues work to address its staff- ing shortage, the division offers the following tips for an improved customer ex- perience: • Renew early – Don't wait until the last minute to renew your driver's license or ID card. DMV sends a reminder card to the ad- dress on file six months before the expiration date. Customers can renew at any time during this six- month window. • Renew online – In most cases, unless they renewed online last time, customers can renew their credentials online. • Make an appointment – Customers with appoint- ments are serviced daily from office opening until 12 p.m. Appointments can be scheduled up to 90 days in advance at skiptheline. ncdot.gov. Again, don't wait until the last minute. It is not uncommon for the soonest available appointment to be several weeks out. • Walk-in availability – Each full-time driver's li- cense office accepts walk- in customers on weekdays from 12-5 p.m. Part-time and express offices service only walk-in customers. • Be prepared – Check the DMV website to ensure you bring the required doc- umentation for your desired service. One frequently forgotten item is a printed document proving liability insurance. REAL ID – Customers have more time to get their REAL ID as the federal im- plementation date requiring a REAL ID to fly commer- cially or to visit federal, mili- tary, and nuclear facilities has been moved back to May 7, 2025. 65 new Driver's License Examiners assigned to 48 DMV offices
