Not your typical DMV Agency this one is really good.
Please note they do not process drivers’ licenses at this location. I witnessed a customer arrive super early and did not check online if drivers’ licenses were processed at this location. The staff told him were to go to get a drivers’ license and you could tell they felt bad for him. I was there to register and do a title transfer for an out of state vehicle and the process was very smooth. The DMV License Agency in Indian Trail is busy, but the team is on point as they arrive early open on time and grind out the Vehicle registrations with a quickness.

Yes! Make sure to surrender the tag before you remove insurance from the plate, or you risk being fined.

Hey my name is Sharon, I just perched a truck from SC. I need to get it registered in NC. I have the SC title signed , prof of insurance, and the bill of sale. Do I need anything more to get it registered in NC.

Well, I don’t know exactly about a purchase done outside NC and then title and registration in NC. I moved from WI to NC and I showed NC DL, WI title, proof of insurance, residence proof and FS-1. Proof of insurance and FS-1 can be provided by a registered insurance agent in NC. My car wasn’t financed. First, they’ll title the car and once that’s done, they’ll issue physical license plate. Both things were done in a single day.
Are notary public services available at this location for title transfer?
Hello Hendrick. Yes, you can transfer your registration at this location. However you will need a valid NORTH CAROLINA ID or NC drivers license and they do not provide drivers license service at this location. Also, you will need to bring proof of NC INSURANCE and I can help in that arena. I am an insurance broker in North Carolina.
If we just want to transfer plates to a different car what do I need to bring with me?

My friend sold me a vehicle and it has a New York Title. Will I have to get this notarized first before I can transfer the Title in my name?
Cary Cranor | Jun 28, 2022
Mike Kakuk | Jun 28, 2022
This location has on-site notaries. But you have to bring cash for the notary service. I believe it is $5 for one signature. They do the notary at the same time as the title transfer at the counter.
Do I need to return my plates to NC after I move to California and reregister my car there?
Karen Blanchard | Jun 28, 2022

Can I turn in my forms for a lost tag and request a new one at this location?
can go by myself to transfer car title to my son as gift
Shirley Huang | Feb 28, 2022
Sean Blackman | Feb 28, 2022
Technically yes. They only need to Notarize the signature of the seller (you). As far as the gift is concerned, that would have to be dealt with at the time he went to get plates. You can gave it witnessed by any notary.
I turned in car and plate prior to getting the renewal in the mail. I emailed the DMV 2 weeks ago and have not heard back from them yet. My question is, since I am NOT renewing that Plate do I just pay taxes for 2021 for the old car?

I am selling my car to someone in New Jersey. When I take my licenses plate off my car , how is he going to drive it back to New Jersey without a plate? If he needs to get a temporary plate how does he do that.

Ted Litchfield | Oct 31, 2021
Hugh Wetherall | Oct 31, 2021
He should take signed and notarized title to plate office and ask for a temporary tag. You can go with him and sign title in front of notary together. Both of you should sign in front of notary.

No appointments needed. This office doesn't do drivers license. You will need a NC State license or id. Proof of insurance and everything for the vehicle
North Carolina DMV License Plate Agency | Sep 26, 2021
The vehicle may not need an inspection. When you title the vehicle in your name the title clerk can tell you weather it needs inspection or not. If you do need a temp tag you will have to have your NCDL $10 for the tag and $5.00 cash for the notary.
I believe there is a period if time before you have to switch. Also for the sake of what if... you own a house in both states and register a car to each location... just saying
I didn't have to schedule an appointment at the DMV that I visited. I'm not sure if all DMV's operate the same. You only need license, proof of insurance and make sure the title is notarized prior to arrival.

If the vehicle was purchased new, call the Dealer. They are responsible, call them and inquire. If they give you any hassle call the NCDMV in Raleigh and discuss what the issue is.
North Carolina DMV License Plate Agency | Sep 26, 2021
