The Certificate of Title is the key document for transferring ownership. On the back of the title, in the "Assignment of Title by Owner" section, you must:
Enter the buyer's full name and address.
Record the exact odometer reading (without tenths of a mile).
Fill in the date of the sale.
Print and sign your name precisely as it appears on the front of the title.
Crucially, your signature must be notarized. You and the buyer should go to a notary public together to complete the title transfer. Do not sign the title until you are in the presence of the notary.
If your title is lost or damaged, you must apply for a duplicate title by submitting a completed and notarized Form MVR-4 (Application for Duplicate Title) to the NCDMV before you can sell the car. If you have an outstanding auto loan, the lienholder's information will be on the title. You must pay off the loan completely. The lender will then provide you with a lien release, allowing you to obtain a clear title for the sale.
Yes. North Carolina law requires that a vehicle has a passing safety and/or emissions inspection before it is sold. The inspection must have been completed within the 12 months prior to the sale. It is the seller's legal responsibility to ensure this is done. Selling a car without a current inspection can result in penalties.
Private sales in North Carolina are considered "as-is," meaning you are not required to provide a warranty. However, you are legally obligated to be truthful about the vehicle's condition and history, especially concerning the odometer reading. Disclosing any known mechanical issues is the best practice to build trust and avoid potential legal claims of misrepresentation later.
No. Private sellers do not collect sales tax. The buyer is responsible for paying a Highway Use Tax (HUT) when they title the vehicle in their name at the NCDMV. This tax is 3% of the vehicle's purchase price.
In North Carolina, the license plate belongs to you, the seller. You must remove your license plate from the vehicle before the buyer takes it. You can then transfer the plate to another vehicle you own or turn it in to an NCDMV license plate agency within 10 days to cancel your liability insurance on the sold car.
Turning in your license plate to the NCDMV is the official step that releases you from liability. This action notifies the state that you no longer own the vehicle, protecting you from responsibility for any parking tickets, toll violations, or accidents that occur after the sale.
