FARGO — Beginning Monday, Dec. 16, Fargo's driver's license services will be moved to a temporary location at Village West Mall, 4101 13th Ave. S., Fargo, while the permanent driver's license office on 38th Street South is renovated.

Services at the temporary location include all driver’s license renewals, REAL IDs and Class D road tests. Office hours will remain the same, 7:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) driver test along with motorcycle driver test will remain at the permanent location at 503 38th St. S. while construction is taking place. All written testing along with the hazardous material knowledge testing will continue to be conducted at the North Dakota Department of Transportation's (NDDOT) temporary testing site — the North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS) building, 1305 19th Ave. N., room 127.

The temporary locations are expected to remain in place for approximately one year while renovation is completed at the permanent location. The move is part of a newly launched action plan, Drive ND, to improve customer service at many driver’s license offices across the state.

While walk-in customers are always welcome, appointments can be made to allow for faster service and reduced wait times. Appointment scheduling can be made on the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) website at dot.nd.gov. When making appointments for Fargo, note the office location to ensure you go to the correct address for your scheduled appointment.
