Getting to NC and Driving
Owning a car in North Carolina doesn’t have to be a bad thing. In fact, it can actually be a good thing. A lot of people allow themselves to feel overwhelmed when they are moving to a different state because it is a huge change, and there are a lot of things to remember that you sort of need to do before you can truly begin relaxing. One of those things is making sure that you register your vehicle. If you are moving from out of state, you typically have 30 days from the time in which you find employment in North Carolina to get your vehicle registered. However, the catch is that you must first have in your possession, a North Carolina driver’s license, which means that you will have to locate the nearest Department of Motor Vehicles and take a fairly brief written test, paying a minimal fee. Once you have your license in hand, you will then need to locate the nearest driver’s registration office (which is a separate entity from the DMV). There, you will be able to get your title and tags taken care of.
