but my car is registered in VA, where I lived for 2 years working

i've read that in order to get my car registered in NC, I need the title. Well I am on a Ford Credit payment plan from when I bought the car 2 years ago. I believe Ford sent the VA DMV the title back then.

Who usually has the title to the car up until it's fully paid off? and how does one typically get a hold of it to take to the NC DMV for the car to become registered in NC

Quote :

"To register a vehicle with an out-of-state title held by a recorded lienholder: Furnish the current out-of-state registration in your name. Complete the Title Application (MVR-1), declaring all liens, signed in the presence of a notary. If the vehicle is less than 10 years old, you must declare an odometer reading on the Title Application. Owner has to have the vehicle inspected in North Carolina prior to a license plate being issued. A form MVR-57 will be issued and given to the registered owner to send to the lienholder. That form will authorize the lienholder to release the title to the DMV. Upon receipt of the out-of-state title, a North Carolina title will be issued and mailed to the lienholder. A Declaration of Eligible Risk (MVR-615) is required. "

btw, it is usually pretty slow before 11am at the license plate office
