NC DMV offices to open on Saturdays through the summer

Starting June 8, 16 DMV offices throughout North Carolina will resume walk-in services on Saturdays.

Why it matters: North Carolinians now need a photo ID to vote, and a REAL ID to fly domestically by May 2025 .

• But residents have had to wait as many as eight weeks to receive their driver's licenses in recent months — much longer than the usual two weeks — as the DMV has faced a print production backlog of more than 350,000 licenses.

Between the lines: The backlog is expected to be resolved by the end of this month, NC DMV Commissioner Wayne Goodwin told lawmakers Thursday .

Zoom in: Two offices in Raleigh will be open throughout the summer from 8am to noon:

• One in North Raleigh (2431 Spring Forest Road, Suite 101)
• And another in West Raleigh (3231 Avent Ferry Road)
