POLK COUNTY—The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles is seeking applicants for a commissioned contractor to operate a license plate agency in Polk County.
In North Carolina, NCDMV oversees license plate agencies, but the agencies are managed by private businesses or local governments.
The contract for the current agency, located at 51 Walker St., in the Polk County Tax Department Building in Columbus, expires on December 14. The agency has been owned and operated by Polk County Government since 2014.
The division’s policy is to open applications to operate a license plate agency at the expiration or end of a contract or when the need arises for a new or additional agency in a certain county.
Completed applications must be returned to NCDMV no later than June 27. The applications (Form MVR-93A, Form MVR-93B, or Form MVR-93M) can be found at connect.ncdot.gov/business/DMV. Interested applicants may call 919-615-8521 with questions.
All applications must now be submitted via email to applicationLPA@ncdot.gov. No mail-in applications will be accepted.
License plate agencies offer vehicle registration services and title transactions, as well as vehicle license plate renewals, replacement tags and duplicate registrations. Currently, 128 license plate agencies operate in North Carolina.
People are reminded that many vehicle services can be completed online, including property tax payments and registration renewals. To get started, please visit MyNCDMV.gov.
