DMV begins Saturday hours in Kernersville
The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles will begin Saturday walk-in service hours this weekend in the Kernersville office at 810-A N. Main St. This year, the division is expanding from 16 to 20 the number of offices offering services from 8 a.m.-noon on 11 Saturdays from May 31-Aug. 23 (offices will be closed on June 28 and July 5). Kernersville is among the four new offices with Saturday hours, along with Elizabeth City, Clayton and Durham East. Saturday hours also are offered at the DMV office in Winston-Salem at 2001 Silas Creek Parkway. Walk-in services will be provided, no appointment necessary. Last summer, nearly 17,000 customers were served at 16 offices during the 12 Saturdays of the 2024 season. Services that will be offered during the Saturday hours include driver license or ID cards, renewals or duplicate orders, address changes, REAL ID issuances, and road tests for customers that have already completed the knowledge and written tests. Anyone considering a visit to the DMV should first check to determine if they can complete their business online. NCDMV offers many online services, including driver license and ID card renewals, ordering duplicate licenses and ID cards, address changes and voter registration applications. With TSA now checking for REAL IDs, DMV Commissioner Paul Tine is encouraging North Carolinians to be informed about requirements for air travel: Unless you have upcoming air travel or will be visiting a federal building, there is no need to rush to the DMV. DMV continues to issue REAL IDs. Passports, military IDs, and global entry cards are all acceptable substitutes for a REAL ID. To learn more about REAL ID requirements and guidance, visit
