Staffing shortages in both Raeford and Laurinburg offices have recently been supported by driver license examiners from other offices. This includes support from offices in Hamlet and Fayetteville, which has placed more demand on those offices.
Since both Hamlet and Fayetteville have larger offices, the decision was made to close the Raeford and Laurinburg offices until the staffing shortage can be resolved.
The DMV said it's continuing its search for new driver license examiners throughout the state. The process to onboard a new examiner includes five weeks of classroom training.
