ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) —
If it’s time to renew your driver’s license, you’ll soon have another option for accomplishing that task.
Walk-in hours are set to resume this weekend at 16 driver’s license offices, including the one on Patton Avenue in Asheville.
North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles officials said these 16 offices — some of the state’s busiest — will be open 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays from June 8 through Aug. 24 as the agency expands services for the summer season.
Services that will be offered during the Saturday hours include driver’s license or ID cards, renewals or duplicate orders, address changes, REAL ID issuances and road tests for customers who have already completed the knowledge and written tests.
“I continue to be focused on offering more opportunities for customers to receive services both online and during expanded hours,” Commissioner Wayne Goodwin in a news release. “Opening for Saturday hours at many of our busiest locations statewide is what customers want, need and have requested.”
