NCDMV closes license plate agency in Harrisburg

HARRISBURG, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles closed the license plate agency in Harrisburg Wednesday. 

The current agency, located at 4612 N.C. Hwy. 49 S., at Bestway Center, in Harrisburg, was closed following the discovery of several contract violations.

The Harrisburg agency had been operated by Sara James since 2012.

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.

Four nearby license plate agencies offer service Monday through Friday:
