Kinston License Plate Agency Temporarily Closed for Ownership Transition
Agency to reopen Sept. 21 under new management at the same location
ROCKY MOUNT – The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles’ license plate agency (LPA) in Kinston is temporarily closed through Sept. 18 to allow for contractor ownership transition. The contract for the previous owner expired on Sept. 11.
In North Carolina, NCDMV oversees LPAs, but the agencies are managed by private businesses or local governments.
The agency, at 2431-B N. Heritage St., at the Kinston Plaza Shopping Center, in Kinston, will reopen at 9 a.m. on Sept. 21 under new management, and will continue to be open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., except for state holidays. The office will be owned and operated by Gairy Canady.
In the meantime, three nearby license plate agencies offer service Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. except for state holidays:
Snow Hill, 415 U.S. Hwy. 13 S., Suite C (Laney Wood Place)
Goldsboro, 1801 E. Ash St. (Wayne Plaza)
New Bern, 2505 Neuse Blvd. (Town Park Plaza)
LPAs offer vehicle registration services and title transactions, as well as vehicle license plate renewals, replacement tags and duplicate registrations. Currently, 131 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 NCDMV.gov.
