Trip to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)

Drop-Offs Only

DMV is open for walk-ins and appointments. Walk-ins are accepted daily starting at noon. Duke International Student Center will provide drop-off only transportation to DMV on every second Thursday of the month, departing from our office at Smith Warehouse, 114 Buchanan Blvd, Bay 5. To make an appointment online, please go to the NCDMV website, we do not provide transportation for individual appointments. If you need to get your driver's license, select "Driver License – First Time" for appointment type, and you will take a road test at your scheduled appointment.

New to DMV

DMV has an online study tool that can help you prepare for the written part of the test.
