RALEIGH — The North Carolina DMV is switching its appointment scheduling from 90 days out to seven days.
New appointments will open at midnight each weekday, but there are exceptions when seven days ahead falls on a holiday.

The more than 3,200 daily slots will be spread out across 115 offices.
The change also means appointments will be scattered throughout the day instead of only in the morning to help serve walk-ins faster, The Charlotte Observer reported.
The shorter window gives the DMV more flexibility to better manage demand and direct customers to offices that might have more capacity in a given week, said spokesman Marty Homan.
“It allows us to be more agile with our scheduling,” Homan said in an interview. “Should we decide to pivot and make a change, we’re only seven days out, rather than the 90 days out.”
