Procedure for NC residents to register and title a vehicle

You must present a valid NC Driver License or a North Carolina Identification Card to register a vehicle in North Carolina. If there are multiple owners to be recorded on a title and only one driver is delivering the paperwork, please bring the alternate owner's valid ID/Drivers License or a copy thereof. 


To register a vehicle purchased from an individual:

  1. Furnish the title properly assigned and notarized to you. If any liens are shown on the front of the vehicle's title, you will need a lien release.
  2. Complete the Title Application (MVR-1), declaring all liens, signed by all owners in the presense of a notary.
  3. If the vehicle is less than 10 years old, you must supply an odometer disclosure statement signed by the seller and the buyer.
  4. A Damage Disclosure Statement (MVR-181) is required.
  5. If purchased from a NC resident, the owner has to have the vehicle inspected in North Carolina prior to a license plate being issued. If purchased from an individual that resides out of state, the new owner will be issued a plate without requiring an NC inspection.  The plate will not be eligible for renewal one year later unless the vehicle has passed a NC inspection.
  6. A Declaration of Eligible Risk (MVR-615) is required.
  7. Proof of Insurance must be furnished.
