Department of Motor Vehicles (Licensing & Registration)
Whether you’re getting your driver’s license switched over to a North Carolina license, or you’re registering your vehicle in North Carolina for the first time, you’ll want to access the Department of Motor Vehicles
website at www.ncdot.org/dmv/ to find out what information you’ll need to take with you. Even if you have a current driver's license in another state, the DMV requires that you pass a written exam before obtaining a North Carolina driver’s license. You’ll need to pick up a booklet
from the DMV to study for the exam. The closest DMV office to Kure Beach is located at the South Square Plaza in Wilmington: 2390 Carolina Beach Road, Suite 108. They are open Monday through Friday from 9:00am-5:00pm. For more information, call 910-763-6752.

Garbage is collected every Monday for all of Fort Fisher Blvd, Atlantic Ave, Spot Ln and properties south of K Avenue. Tuesday collection is for all other properties north of K Avenue. Town ordinance allows you to place your garbage cart in front of your premises for pickup after sunset on the day prior to pickup, and it must be returned to your home by midnight on the day of pickup. Please check the News area of our homepage during Holidays to see if the pickup schedule has been altered. Note that there will be NO special trash pick-up during Christmas week.
