Plan for 4:30PM, not 5:00PM. The state lists 5:00PM for this office in its location directory, but its own live wait feed says 4:30PM — and across every day we have recorded, offices stop reporting as open at about 4:21pm. Many stop adding people to the walk-in list before that.
What we have measured here
Median wait per open hour, from the state’s wait feed, across every day we’ve recorded here. An estimate, never a promised wait.
Median wait by weekday, from the state’s wait feed. Each bar is the median across 6–8 separate days we recorded here, so a day we happened to poll more often cannot outweigh one we polled less. We do not publish this chart at all until every weekday has at least 3 observed days behind it. An estimate, never a promised wait.

Making a trip of it?
This is one of the offices people drive out to — and it is about 17 miles from Boone & the Blue Ridge. If you are coming from out of the area and would rather not do it as a round trip in one day, our sister site It’s Giving Gone tracks below-market last-minute stays there.
