Motor Vehicle Registration
You must register your vehicle before the reciprocity agreement between North Carolina and your former state expires (usually 30 days). Registration is renewed annually. To register your vehicle, apply in person at a license plate agency and present your title (unless title is held by a lien older) and a valid registration card from your former state. If your title is held by a lien holder, you must provide the lien holder’s name and address on a state form for title release. You also must present proof of vehicle liability insurance at or above minimum standards (see driver’s license information for the list of acceptable documents). Fees due when you receive N.C. registration include title fee, $35; registration fee, $20; and highway use tax, which is 3 percent of the value of your vehicle. DMV registration offices accept checks. You also must get a vehicle safety inspection within 10 days of receiving your N.C. license plate. This costs $9.25 and can be done
at any state-authorized inspection station. Inspection is required annually. Some counties also require an emissions inspection, which is conducted at the same time as the safety inspection and costs $30. Although the state does not levy sales tax on motor vehicles, N.C. counties assess property taxes annually. Your car will be registered when you receive your license plate, and you’ll receive a bill in about three months. |

Driver's License Information
New residents who plan to drive must obtain an N.C. driver’s license within 60 days of establishing a permanent residence here. Licensed drivers who are 16 or 17 years old must present proof of completion of a state-approved driver education course in their former state; otherwise, they receive a temporary license pending completion of the course here. N.C. driver’s licenses are good for five years. To get a license, apply in person at a driver’s license office and take the vision, sign
recognition and written tests. (It’ll help to study the “Driver’s Handbook,” available at DMV offices or check the website below.) Tests are available in seven languages - English, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Spanish, French and Arabic. When you apply, present your current out-of-state license or two other accepted forms of ID, as well as proof of liability insurance (for example, the original policy, original binder or Form DL-123 from your insurance agent) from an insurer licensed
in North Carolina. You’ll also need to supply your Social Security number. For more information on N.C. driver’s license and motor vehicle registration rules, call DMV Direct Access at (919) 715-7000. You can access recorded information 24 hours a day using a touch-tone telephone and following the prompts. Or check the DMV Web site (http://www.dmv.dot.state.nc.us.)
