Applications due by Sept. 27
ROCKY MOUNT – The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles is seeking applicants for a commissioned contractor to operate a license plate agency (LPA) in Mount Olive.
In North Carolina, NCDMV oversees LPAs, but the agencies are managed by private businesses or local governments. The previous agency, at 225 N. Center St., in Mount Olive, permanently closed on Aug. 26 following the passing of longtime contractor Karen Andrews, who had operated the agency since 1987.
The division’s policy is to open applications to operate a license plate agency after the expiration or end of a contract, or when the need arises for a new or additional agency in a certain county.
Completed applications must be returned to NCDMV no later than Sept. 27. The applications (Form MVR-93I, Form MVR-93B, or Form MVR-93M) can be found on the Connect NCDOT website. Interested applicants may call 919-615-8521 with questions.
LPAs offer vehicle registration services and title transactions, as well as vehicle license plate renewals, replacement tags and duplicate registrations. Currently, 125 license plate agencies operate in North Carolina.
Three nearby license plate agencies offer service Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.:
- Goldsboro, 1801 E. Ash St.
- Clinton, 1121 Sunset Ave.
- Kinston, 2407-C N. Heritage St.
