ROCKY MOUNT –The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles is seeking applicants for a commissioned contractor to operate a license plate agency (LPA) in Statesville.
In North Carolina, NCDMV oversees LPAs, but the agencies are managed by private businesses or local governments.
The contract for the current agency, at 121 W. Water St., in Statesville, expires on Jan. 14, 2027. The agency has been owned by KRM Businesses, Inc. and operated by Katrina Maddrey since 2017.
The division’s policy is to open applications to operate a license plate agency at the expiration or end of a contract, or when the need arises for a new or additional agency in a certain county.
Applications must be completed online via the
NCDMV Business Portal no later than July 29. Interested applicants will be required to create a portal log in ID and may call 919-615-8521 with questions. No mail-in or emailed applications will be accepted.
LPAs offer vehicle registration services and title transactions, as well as vehicle license plate renewals, replacement tags and duplicate registrations. Currently, 132 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
