RALEIGH, N.C. — Officials with the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles are enlisting volunteers to help with long lines at their driver's license offices.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports DMV sent an email to all state Department of Transportation employees on Monday asking them to volunteer for four-hour shifts at the driver's license offices.

Last week, DMV Commissioner Torre Jessup acknowledged that customers at many DMV offices have been waiting for hours to see someone.
Jessup said summer is usually a busy time at DMV offices, but this summer is particularly bad largely because people are heeding DMV's call to get a REAL ID, a form of driver's license that satisfies federal identification standards that will go into full effect in October 2020.
