RALEIGH – The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) is seeking applicants to operate a license plate agency (LPA) in Cherokee County.
The current agency, located at 1176 Andrews Road in Murphy, closed on May 14 and the contract to operate the agency was voided.
The division’s policy is to open applications to operate a license plate agency after the expiration or end of a contract, or when the need arises for a new or additional agency in a certain county. In North Carolina, NCDMV oversees LPAs, but the agencies are managed by private businesses.
Completed applications must be returned to NCDMV no later than June 20. The applications (Form MVR-93 or Form MVR-93AA) are located on the Connect NCDOT website. Interested applicants may call 919-615-6053 with questions.
LPAs offer vehicle registration services and title transactions, as well as vehicle license plate renewals, replacement tags and duplicate registrations. Currently, 127 license plate agencies operate in North Carolina.
