North Carolina Title Support

1. On back of title at the top it has many fields that need to be filled out. First, the buyer’s name and address must be filled in. North Carolina requires that the title be filled out and signed in the presence of a public notary. Do not attempt to sign the title until you have made an appointment and are before a public notary.

2. On the lower portion of the front of the title, there is space for up to four lienholders. If there are any liens on the sale, they should fill out their information here. If not, skip this section.

3. Flipping to the back page, the very top section has many fields that need to be filled out. First, the buyer’s name and address must be filled in.

4. To the lower left of the buyer’s information, the vehicle’s odometer reading must be recorded, including a checkbox that must be marked if the odometer reading is inaccurate.

5. Below the odometer information, there is a short questionnaire about the vehicle’s history. Do not leave these blank- if the condition does not apply, check “No” on the form.

6. Finally, the seller must print and sign their name on title, followed by the notary’s signature. Below this, the buyer should certify that they have read and understood the disclosure and then sign their name.
