Mobile unit schedule 2/8 through 2/12; smaller, more nimble mobile units now available

The DMV mobile units are scheduled for stops this week in several NC communities not serviced by a conventional DMV facility: Belhaven, Swan Quarter, Bayboro, Columbus, St. Pauls, Tyrrell, Fairmont, and Warrenton. Here is a link to the schedule, which has finally been posted on the Voter Outreach Team web site after more than a month's absence.

You can also do a manual search to find out if your community is on the schedule this week: http://ncdot.gov/dmv/locations.html

While there is no longer a strict requirement for photo ID in order to vote in NC (or at least until the law changes again!), we think you should go ahead and get an ID if you can. We've outlined the reasons why on our web site.
 


The DMV Mobile Units offer NC citizens in outlying communities a chance to acquire a photo ID for the 2016 election. Democracy NC has a helpful handout on the application process.

The DMV has deployed several smaller, more nimble SUV-based mobile units to supplement their fleet of RV-based units. The smaller units are available on Mondays and Fridays by appointment. I received the following information from DMV Secretary Kelly Thomas (on a Saturday, no less):
"The Footlocker mobile units will be available for special visits/stops.  They perform all DMV license/ID services that the brick and mortar sites perform today.  Homebound visits will be conducted on Mon or Fri so the regularly scheduled mobile stops can be reached Tue-Thur each week. Our primary scheduler and POC is: Diana Cartwright at 252-830-3456 or dhcartwright@ncdot.gov "
Thanks, Commissioner!
