ROCKY MOUNT –The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles is seeking applicants for a Commissioner Contractor to operate a license plate agency (LPA) in Hertford County. Previous applicants to operate the agency will still be considered and need not reapply.
In North Carolina, NCDMV oversees LPAs, but the agencies are managed by private businesses or local governments. The previous agency, at 907 Memorial Drive East, in Ahoskie, permanently closed on March 25 after the operator’s contract ended.
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 27. The applications (Form MVR-93 or Form MVR-93AA) can be found
here. Interested applicants may call 919-615-8929 with questions.
LPAs offer vehicle registration services and title transactions, as well as vehicle license plate renewals, replacement tags and duplicate registrations. Currently, 131 license plate agencies operate in North Carolina.
