Title Transfers: Late Penalty Fee

If a purchaser of a vehicle, previously registered in North Carolina, fails to make application for transfer within 28 days from the date of delivery or notary date, whichever is later, the owner will be subject to a late penalty of $15.00 (If the 28th day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday observed by the Division, the 29th will be the application date.) Title transfers received through the mail by the Division must be postmarked within the 28 days to avoid the penalty. The penalty also applies to vehicles purchased from dealers or repossessors.

A penalty fee is determined by counting 1st day after notary, purchase, and/or sale date in the assignment to the applicant.

Penalty Fee Is Due Only On North Carolina Title Transfers And Duplicate Title Transfers.

A Penalty Fee Is Not Due If Transfer Is From:

  • Single to joint.

  • Joint to single.

  • Joint to joint.

  • One owner remains the same.

  • Transfer upon Inheritance, Bankruptcy, or Salvage.

  • Dealers or repossesors clearing title in their name.

  • Title document reassigned to out-of-state dealers, out-of-state dealer reassigns to North Carolina purchaser.

  • Proof of ownership is Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO) or out-of-state title and last assignment is made to a North Carolina dealer.
