Vendors and businesses must verify that they are a provider of a service to Ocracoke Island and may apply for a priority pass only if the company travels to Ocracoke twice a week, every week. An application must be obtained at the Hatteras Terminal, appropriately filled out and then approved by the Ferry Division before a sticker is issued and picked up by the vendor. The process to obtain the sticker takes at least one week and passes are canceled if the sticker is not picked up within three weeks of the application date.

If a business or vendor misses the May 13 priority pass deadline, priority status will be decided on a case-by-case basis. For further information, please contact the Hatteras Terminal directly at 252-986-2353.
