MVR-1
Title Application
North Carolina’s title application, for a title only or a title with a license plate.
Buying or selling a car privately in North Carolina: the forms
These are the official North Carolina forms that come up when you buy or sell a car privately, each linked straight to ncdot.gov. North Carolina doesn’t publish a standalone bill of sale; the title’s assignment section and form MVR-1 serve that purpose.
We don’t host copies, so you always get the current version from the state. We check every link weekly.
The forms
MVR-180
Odometer Disclosure Statement
The seller’s odometer statement on a transfer of ownership, as federal and state law require.
MVR-181
Damage Disclosure Statement
The seller’s disclosure to the buyer of known damage to the vehicle, as state law requires.
MVR-63
Power of Attorney
Appoints someone to sign a title, or an application for a duplicate, to complete a transfer.
MVR-4
Application for Duplicate Title
Applies for a duplicate title; the form notes a waiting period before the title is issued.
MVR-8
Application for Removal of Lien from Certificate of Title
