Got here at 745 am on a Friday. Only 1 person was waiting ahead of me! By the time they opened,…read morethere were maybe 10 people behind me. I thought I had everything I'd need to get my license changed from TX to NC in handy form of in my email. Turns out you still can't show them anything electronically and need a hard copy. They were super nice about me not knowing that. Things I was missing in handy form were my insurance policy and proof of address. They asked me to call my insurance company on the spot and fax over a DL123 form which was fairly easily done by me making a quick phone call. If I had that info on me, I would have been in and out in 10 mins! But I had to wait for the faxed document to make it over so I was there for around 30 minutes. I'm used to insanely long lines and waiting at least half a day in Texas so this was a pleasant surprise. Service was quick and friendly! Definitely recommend! Things you need to update your license from another state to NC: Two IDs with your date of birth (can be old drivers license and passport) Social security card Proof of address (any utility bill) Proof of car insurance ^As I said, I was missing the last 2. If you don't have those docs printed, you still don't have to get out of line. Just call your insurance company and have them fax over a DL123 form to the office you're at (it has both your address and your car insurance info on it so 2 birds with one stone)

Carrboro DMV - I went on-line five weeks prior to schedule an appointment. My appointment to…read moreobtain a ReadID was scheduled for 09/04 @11:00 am. I was in/out of my appointment in approximately 15 minutes. CECE was the employee who helped me through the process. CECE was amazing! She was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly! If you go on-line to schedule an appointment and CARRBORO is available...schedule your appointment there and hopefully you will be fortunate enough to be called to "station #3" to work with CECE! (I currently live in Raleigh, NC.)

Marshall DMV - managed to get an appointment via online for less than a week out at 13:00 on a…read moreFriday. Probably not the standard, I hear they're like gold dust at this location. Doors opened bob on 13:00, the lady working was very polite and professional. If you had an appointment, you could take a seat; if you didn't, she directed you to a DMV that was accepting appointments - it's signposted on the entrance exterior that they aren't taking walk-ins at Marshall. Waited maybe 5-10 minutes to be seen. I was swapping an expired, out-of-state license, which took approximately 20 minutes (at most), and I had all the correct documents ready to hand. The whole process was efficient, and the lady helping me was wonderful!! Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Absolutely ridiculous. Don't bother making an appointment, just plan to get there when it opens. I…read morewas so excited to be able to get an appointment. They tell you not to get there any earlier than 15 before your appointment- don't believe it because they will take everyone else as a walk in that got there before you. Once they take your documents they send you back OUTSIDE to wait while they take all the walk ins, which is actually inhumane in this heat. Plan to go on a day with nice weather, for sitting outside for god knows how long. Glad I don't have to do this very often. NC- get your act together
