DMV Mobile Unit Cannot Make Jan. 25 Stop in Ocracoke

Press Release

Other offices will offer DMV services.

After trying every way possible to get its mobile unit to Ocracoke on Friday, Jan. 25, the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles has announced that it will be unable to make its January stop in Ocracoke. The mobile unit has a strict schedule of stops along the coast and will not be able to cross Hatteras Inlet due to winter weather and extreme shoaling that has caused the channel to shoal over, suspending operations there until further notice.

NCDMV routinely sends a mobile DMV unit via ferry to the Dare County Civic Center on Hwy. 12 quarterly; the next mobile unit visit to Ocracoke is scheduled for April. However, the mobile unit will be visiting Swan Quarter on February 14, March 14 and April 11. On these visits, it parks at the Hyde County government lot, 11 Main St., Swan Quarter, NC 27885.

The nearby Manteo Driver License Office is undergoing previously scheduled renovations and repairs between Jan. 23 and Jan. 28. It is scheduled to close at 2 p.m. pm Wednesday, Jan. 23 and reopen at 12 p.m. on Monday afternoon, Jan. 28.

Other offices that will be open during the closures are at the following locations:
