North Carolina DMV Moving to All-Electronic Vehicle Registration Oct. 1
The change follows a July budget move that cut $4.8 million in printing and mailing costs, officials said.
- On Thursday, the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles ended mailed registration cards and license plate stickers, moving to all-electronic registration for drivers registering vehicles for the first time or renewing existing registrations.
- The North Carolina General Assembly approved the change in the state budget to save time, money and prevent fraud, with the system expected to reduce state costs and combat counterfeit stickers.
- DMV Communications Director Marty Homan said the state saved $4.8 million by eliminating printing and mailing costs, while drivers can access registration digitally at no cost or request a printed copy for $5.
- Drivers retain multiple renewal options online, in person, or at self-service kiosks with 90-day advance reminders, though AARP's Rebecca Gilbert warned that limited technology access creates barriers for older residents and leaves them susceptible to scams.
- The NCDMV plans to launch a mobile wallet app in early 2027 allowing drivers to carry registration and license on their phones, while registrations remain valid as long as fees and taxes are paid on time.
