You should title and register the vehicle with the NCDMV as soon as possible after the sale, and it is required within 28 days to avoid late fees. You will need to take the notarized title, proof of North Carolina liability insurance, and a valid ID to a local NCDMV license plate agency.
Ensure the seller’s name on their ID matches the name on the front of the title. If a bank or lender is listed as a lienholder on the front of the title, the seller must provide a lien release document (such as a signed Form MVR-8) from that financial institution proving the loan has been paid off. Without this, you cannot obtain a clear title.
While the notarized title is the primary legal document, a bill of sale is highly recommended. It serves as your official receipt and protects both you and the seller. The bill of sale should include the vehicle's year, make, model, and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), the final purchase price, date of sale, and the names and signatures of both the buyer and seller.
Instead of a traditional sales tax on the full purchase price, North Carolina charges a one-time Highway Use Tax (HUT) when you title a vehicle. The HUT is 3% of the vehicle’s value, with a maximum cap of $250 for most private vehicle transfers within the state. This fee is paid directly to the NCDMV, not to the seller.
When buying a car from a private seller in North Carolina, the seller must provide the original Certificate of Title. The seller must sign their name in the designated "Seller's Signature" section on the back of the title. Critically, the seller's signature must be notarized by a certified North Carolina Notary Public. Do not purchase a vehicle if the seller's signature has not been notarized, as the NCDMV will reject the transfer.
