There is a one-time extension of 5 months.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Your NC driver license is expired? What about your vehicle registration? You’re not alone which is why state lawmakers are allowing for a one-time extension without fine or fees.

Check NC DMV for ALL the items included in the 5-month extension.

If your license or your vehicle registration expires anytime between March 1, 2020, to August 1, 2020, you have a 5-month extension to get it renewed. But once you go over that 5-month period, all fees and fines can be billed to you.
