ROCKY MOUNT – The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles is seeking applicants to operate the license plate agency (LPA) in Greene County.

The Town of Hookerton previously operated an agency in Greene County, but NCDMV was twice forced to close the office, due to contract violations in 2018 and misuse of state funds in 2021.

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 July 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.

LPAs offer vehicle registration services and title transactions, as well as vehicle license plate renewals, replacement tags and duplicate registrations. Currently, 123 license plate agencies operate in North Carolina.

People are reminded that many vehicle services can be completed online, including property tax payments and registration renewals. To get started, please visit MyNCDMV.gov.
