Best department of motor vehicles in Huntersville, North Carolina (NC) 2024

I scheduled a 9:30am appointment to get my Real ID/Driver's license and I also needed to register my car and get license plates (the new to NC inauguration). I arrived 15 mins early and stood in line behind the blue tape. Written in faded chalk on the sidewalk is written which line is which. Make sure you are in the correct line at all times so you don't waste your time! Also be sure to wear a mask or you will not be serviced here. I got inside to the driver's license line by my appointment time but then there were 20 people ahead of me to get to an actual clerk. The intake lady was nice to some people and less nice to others. It took about 90 minutes before my number was called so I had time to study for the traffic sign test. My number was finally called and it took about 10 minutes to get processed for my license. This location happens to have the vehicle registration and license/tag offices in the same building!! So I hopped into the next line where I waited for about an hour to get my vehicle registered and a license plate. $500 and three hours later, I was on my way home. I recommend making an appointment online, but if you want to do a walk-in, get there at 6:30 am so you are first in line. Otherwise you'll be standing outside in the hot sun waiting for your turn to get in. Be sure to look at the website and bring all the correct forms and documents printed out. The on-site notary charges $6 per signature, cash only. ~Raquel
