A new driver license office is now open at the Fort Bragg Soldier Support Center. This new office will provide dedicated driver license services to service members, Veterans and military families on base.

“Whether a servicemember is arriving for a new assignment, preparing for deployment, or transitioning into civilian life, access to reliable DMV services is essential,” said NCDMVA Secretary Jocelyn Mitnaul Mallette in a press release. “By opening a DMV office on Fort Bragg, we’re removing barriers and giving military families clear, convenient support for everything from renewing a license to navigating out‑of‑state requirements. North Carolina is committed to meeting servicemembers and their families where they are.”

North Carolina boasts the fourth-largest active-duty military presence in the nation, including the most populated military base in the world.

“This new driver license office at Fort Bragg delivers fast, convenient service right on base — exactly where our servicemembers and families need it,” said NCDMV Commissioner Paul Tine in a press release. “We’re proud to bring DMV services directly to those who serve and sacrifice for our country.”

For service members needing vehicle plates and registrations, License Plate Agency offices are nearby in Fayetteville and surrounding areas, as are additional driver license offices. Self-service kiosks can be found at several grocery stores.

Governor Stein is taking steps towards shortening wait times and improving customer experience at the DMV. In March, the NCDMV announced a new feature on its website that provides customers with estimated wait times and real-time capacity status for driver license offices statewide, helping North Carolinians make more informed decisions about when and where to receive DMV services. Customers can view status indicators at visitDMV.nc.gov. Statewide, Driver License Examiner vacancies have fallen below 7% out of 632 roles. As of May 2026, the average DMV wait time is down to 23 minutes – a nearly 90% decrease from a year prior.
