NCDMV Launches Q-Anywhere for Customers
The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles continues to implement new tools to improve the customer experience. The latest is called
Q-Anywhere.
Q-Anywhere allows customers at driver license offices to check in by scanning a QR code and texting a short message to get and hold their place in line. This means you can relax in your vehicle or run a nearby errand while you wait. Customers will get a text message to enter the lobby when staff is ready to serve them.
“The Q-Anywhere process has been amazing. It actually allows us to be able to service more customers in the back with the ability of customers being able to check themselves in and be self-sufficient," said Driver License Supervisor Tanika Williams.
Q-Anywhere is being used in more than half of the state’s 116 driver license offices and will be added to the remaining offices in the coming weeks.
