Does North Carolina require front license plates?
I just got a new job in Charlotte! Now I have about a month to get all my affairs to make the move, but I’ve never registered a car in the state. Do I need to get a front license plate in North Carolina?

North Carolina does not require a front license plate, only requiring a rear license plate for cars registered in the state. The idea behind only having a rear license plate is that the state can cut down on expenses and waste associated with having both a front and rear plate.
Since you’re moving to North Carolina, you have 60 days to get a new driver’s license, register your car, and get a
North Carolina car insurance
policy. However, you need car insurance
before you can officially register your car, as the DMV will ask for proof of insurance.North Carolina is one of 19 states that do not require front license plates, but one of 49 states that do require set amounts of insurance!
