RALEIGH -- The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles will add 13 new driver license examiner graduates to 11 driver license offices next week. Following graduation from DMV’s Basic Examiner Training School on Friday, March 31, the examiners will begin work at area offices on Monday, April 3.

The examiners graduated following four weeks of intensive classroom study at the N.C. Justice Academy in Salemburg.  They will take applications for learner permits, driver licenses and basic identification cards using modernized systems that create counterfeit-proof documents that protect against identity theft.  They will also conduct road tests for new drivers.

“These new examiners are joining a team dedicated to providing a vital service to the citizens of North Carolina,” said Acting DMV Commissioner Eric Boyette.  “They are embarking today on a role that comes with great responsibility and public trust.”

The new examiners and their duty stations are: Laura Anderson, Hickory; Lexsandra Arnez, Goldsboro; Vaticia Bullock, Cary; Brenda Fuqua, East Charlotte; Jeffrey Gregory, Brevard; Michelle Johnson, Garner; Timika Massey, Donald Stevenson, Paul Stuart, West Charlotte; Christopher Null, Newton; Lisa Raynor, Sylva; Edmund Stewart III, South Charlotte; Richard Williams, New Bern.
