Contract applications sought for new operator due April 14
WILSON – The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles has closed the license plate agency in Wilson following the death of the contractor.
In North Carolina, NCDMV oversees LPAs, but the agencies are managed by private businesses or local governments.
The agency had been located at 4000 Ward Blvd., Suite D, at the Toisnot Village Shopping Center, in Wilson.
NCDMV is now seeking applicants for a new commissioned contractor to operate a license plate agency (LPA) in Wilson.
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 Apr. 14. 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. All applications must now be submitted via email to ApplicationLPA@ncdot.gov. No mail-in applications will be accepted.
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.
In the meantime, five nearby license plate agencies offer service Monday through Friday except for state holidays:
- Farmville, 3672 N. Main St., from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
