## Change of Name: 

If you change your name, you must notify the DMV within 60 days to obtain a duplicate card with the new name. 

The process must be completed at a driver license office, which requires an appointment. More information is on the DMV website at https://www.ncdot. gov/dmv/help/moving/Pages/name-changes.aspx. 

## Change of Address: 

Within 60 days of moving within North Carolina, a license or ID holder must update their physical address with the DMV and get a duplicate license or ID. 

If you also own a vehicle, a duplicate registration card needs to be ordered. Most people can handle those steps online or at a local driver license (appointment needed) or license plate agency office (for the registration card). 

More information can be found on the DMV website at https://www.ncdot. gov/dmv/help/moving/Pages/moving-within-nc.aspx. 

## Remember these things when registering a vehicle: 

• Before a vehicle can be registered in North Carolina, the DMV requires proper proof of ownership; 

• For new vehicles, the manufacturer's certificate of origin is the official transfer document; 

• If you purchase a used vehicle which has already been registered, you must present the certificate of title properly assigned by the former owner; 

• To register a used vehicle for the first time in North Carolina, you must present the title from the state where the vehicle was formerly registered; and 

• If the used vehicle is from a non-title state, you must present the current vehicle registration card with a properly notarized transfer of ownership on the back or a notarized bill of sale from the former owner and the former owner's proof of purchase. 

• You must present a North Carolina Driver License or a North Carolina Identification Card. Valid driver licenses or identification cards issued by other states may be accepted for vehicle registrations with documentation of the following: 

• Military active duty stationed in North Carolina; 

• School enrollment in North Carolina; 

• Vehicle garaged in North Carolina for minimum of six months; 

• Court ordered sale of vehicle; 

• Vehicle is co-owned (one owner must have a North Carolina Driver License or ID); 

• Registration for motor home; or 

• Documented medical condition for an owner who would otherwise be eligible for a driver license or identification card. 

• Vehicle inspection must be valid
