Description of Program and Relief
Extension of Driver’s Licenses and Other Division of Motor Vehicles Credentials and Waiver of Associated Fees, Fines, or Penalties
In light of COVID-19, the General Assembly of North Carolina has extended by five months the expiration date of any license, permit, registration, or other credential issued by the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) set to expire on or after March 1, 2020 and before August 1, 2020. DMV has also waived all fees, fines, or penalties associated with failing to renew any DMV issued credential during the period of time the credential is valid by the extension. Individuals who have already paid a fee for a late renewal in March or April will be reimbursed.
Motor vehicle tax payment and car inspection deadlines have also been extended to correspond to the new expiration dates.
DMV will notify individuals affected by an extension and provide information on new expiration dates and how the extension affects subsequent renewal and expiration dates.
