Your car’s title is crucial if you’re going to sell. Luckily, the process to get a title for your car in North Carolina is quite simple.
You can either get a new title in person or by mail. Either way, the fee will be just $15.
In Person
  • Visit your local Division of Motor Vehicles office and fill out the Application for a Duplicate Title (Form MVR-4), which will need to be notarized.
  • Present your valid driver’s license and your vehicle’s VIN.
  • Pay the $15 fee by check, money order, or cash.
By Mail
  • Fill out the same Form MVR-4 and provide your VIN.
  • Pay the $15 fee by check or money order.
  • Mail your information to the address on the form.
Then, once you’ve found a buyer for your Jeep, you’ll need to
transfer the title
to them.
Be sure to remove the vehicle from your
car insurance
at that point, too. While you’re at it, you might as well review your policy to ensure you’re getting the coverage you need for the right price. If you feel that you’re paying too much, could have better coverage, or just don’t drive as much as you used to, check out the
