How appointments work in North Carolina
NCDMV says you do not need an appointment: driver license offices accept walk-ins all day, from open to close or until the office reaches capacity. Appointments are also offered online, and depending on the office and time of day a walk-in may be faster. Current wait times for each office are posted at VisitDMV.nc.gov.
