How to Sign a Vehicle Title in North Carolina: Step-by-Step Guide
Before filling out any information on the title, carefully read these instructions, locate all the appropriate lines, and review any instructions on the title.
Note that North Carolina titles must be notarized. This can be done at any Division of Motor Vehicles office or the office of a notary public. Don't fill out the title until you get to the office, and bring photo identification with you. If you don't, the notary will not be able to notarize your signature.
Turn to the back of your North Carolina car title and look near the top.
On the first line, print the buyer's name.
On the next line, print the buyer's address.
On the left side of the page, look for the box that says "Odometer reading." Enter the vehicle's current mileage in the box.
To the right of the odometer information is a line that says "Seller's signature(s)." The seller should sign their name here. If two people are selling the vehicle, both people need to fit their signatures on this line.
On the next line, the seller(s) should print their name(s).
On the next line, the seller should print the date they signed their name, their county, and the state they live in.
Look for the line that says "Buyer's signature(s)." The buyer should sign their name here. Again, if two people are buying the vehicle, both people need to fit their signatures on this line.
On the next line, the buyer(s) should print their name(s). To the left of that line, write in the date the vehicle was delivered to the buyer.
