The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles will begin collecting a processing fee on all transactions paid for with a credit or debit card on July 1. This includes transactions occurring in-person, online and at a self-service kiosk.
A provision in last year’s state budget allows NCDMV to collect up to two percent on transactions paid for with a credit or debit card. The fee charged for transactions occurring in-person will be 1.22 percent; online transactions will be 1.85 percent and kiosk transactions will be two percent.
The division also wants to remind customers of the quadrennial fees increases that also go into effect on July 1, as directed by state law.
