Summary
Did you know paying with a debit or credit card at the DMV just got more expensive? Starting last July, North Carolina’s DMV began charging processing fees—up to 2% at grocery store kiosks or 1.85% online plus $3—to cover bank transaction costs. The money doesn’t go to the DMV; it’s funneled into a separate fund for card processors. While state law allows public services like the DMV to pass these fees on, it’s still a headache for consumers. Skip the card and pay cash or check to avoid the extra hit—though that comes with its own inconveniences. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
