🎉 Join us in celebrating a very special milestone! 🎉

This month, we’re giving a huge round of applause to our dear Farah at the Wahpeton Motor Vehicle as she celebrates an incredible 20 YEARS of service! 🚗💙

For two decades, Farah has been a familiar, friendly face helping our community navigate licenses, tabs, titles, and all things DMV—with patience, kindness, and a smile (even on the busiest days!). We all know the DMV experience is made so much better when someone like Farah is there to help.

20 years of dedication, hard work, and serving the Twin Towns is something truly worth celebrating! 🥳

If you stop by the Wahpeton DMV this month, be sure to wish Farah a happy 20th anniversary and help us thank her for all she does for our community! 👏

Congratulations, Farah—we appreciate you more than words can say! ❤️

A new scam has made it to our area. Please be mindful and don't respond to these text or emails.

The Police Department has been receiving numerous calls regarding a scam text message circulating that claims individuals have an outstanding traffic violation involving their vehicle in North Dakota.

This message is not legitimate.

The photo being used was originally sent to one of our own officers in an attempt to scam them; however, they did not fall for it.

There are several clear signs this is a scam:
1. The state seal shown is for South Dakota, not North Dakota.
2. The address listed is in Fargo, but the county referenced is incorrect.
3. Grammatical errors are seen in the address provided.

Scammers rely on fear and urgency to get you to act quickly without thinking. Messages like this are designed to sound serious so you’ll click links or respond immediately.

Please DO NOT click on any links (including QR Codes) or provide any personal information.

If you receive one of these messages, report it to your local law enforcement agency and, if applicable, the agency being impersonated.

Stay alert and help spread the word to protect others.

We have gotten a few calls about this and know that there is scams going around again. Just know North Dakota DOT will NEVER contact you through text message.

Wahpeton Police Department has been made aware of a scam being texted to several residents. Do not click on anything in the text and do not go to the listed website. Delete the text and report it as spam on your phone.

You do not need to report this scam to the police unless you have clicked the link and made a payment.
