Carrboro DMV - I went on-line five weeks prior to schedule an appointment. My appointment to obtain a ReadID was scheduled for 09/04 @11:00 am. I was in/out of my appointment in approximately 15 minutes. CECE was the employee who helped me through the process. CECE was amazing! She was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly! If you go on-line to schedule an appointment and CARRBORO is available...schedule your appointment there and hopefully you will be fortunate enough to be called to "station #3" to work with CECE! (I currently live in Raleigh, NC.)

I called 5 times. No one answers the phone. I left a message no one called me back. A note on the website indicates that they have moved to
110 E. Elm Street. Anther website address indicates 101 S. State St. Haven't been able to reach anyone as to which address is correct. I called the 919 number and their robot was an even more frustrating experience. Pitiful situation.
