I need to renew my license in August and I know they're backed up, but I can't even schedule an appointment, literally every office in the state is booked. What am I supposed to even do? I can't just drop everything and wait outside and office all day.

I heard the news that there’s a house bill right now aiming to extend everyone’s license expiration by two years, because of back up at the DMV. I don’t know if it progressed at all, who knows if it would come into effect by the time you need it…

r/NorthCarolina on Reddit: Easily monitor for NC DMV appointments
April 9, 2025 -
Hey everyone!
Like many folks, I got really frustrated with the official NC DMV site – it takes forever to load and you can only check one location at a time for appointment availability.
So, I built a tool to scrape the info and make it easier to check multiple locations quickly. After monitoring my tool for a few days, I found an appointment just 2 days out within a 45min drive!
I figured others could benefit from it too, so I built a simple, free site around it:
https://nc-dmv-appointments.com
I've thought about adding notifications for newly opened nearby appointments. If that sounds useful to you, you can register for the waitlist on the site. If enough people sign up, I'll build it! :) EDIT: I built this feature in so you can now sign up for notifications!
Hopefully this makes dealing with the NC DMV a little less painful for someone else!
tl;dr: I built a free tool to easily monitor for open NC DMV appointments. Check it out at https://nc-dmv-appointments.com

This tool is fantastic! As someone who recently researched NC DMV appointment patterns extensively to get an appointment, I learned several things as well. I had a very crude selenium scraper that would alert me when desirable locations popped up and then automatically fill the form up to the captcha. I still had to babysit it, but it made it much easier. Here are some additional tips that might help our fellow Carolinians: Best Times to Check: Midnight (12-1 AM): The DMV system releases new appointment slots 90 days out around midnight. If your visit is not time sensitive, these are easy to grab. Keep in mind that some days will not have new appointments because the 90th day falls on a weekend or holiday. 3 Days Before Appointments: Many slots become available exactly 72 hours before the appointment date/time when people fail to confirm their 4-day reminder. Friday-Tuesday (including the weekend) will locate more availability than Wednesday/Thursday because confirmations don't expire on those days. Appointments should pop up throughout "business hours" 3 days before the appointment. You just have to ride the refresh or use this excellent tool. Bonus Tips: - Your social security card cannot be laminated - Your insurance information must be printed out - You need proof of insurance even if you don't own a car - If you need a road test, get an appointment that starts before 2 PM - The QR code Q-Anywhere line saver does not seem to work at all - If you can self-serve at home or at a kiosk, definitely do that - If you need same day service, you better show up around 5 AM Good luck all!
