car inspection help (insurance, loan, transfer)

[chance]

Ok, please follow me on this,

My ex moved to North Carolina and has a car registered in my name from another state. At this time she cannot take out a loan to get the car registered in her name,(It is currently in my name, but she is paying the monthy notes) but the inspection sticker has expired. Is there some way to have the car inspected in North Carolina.(Insurence is in both our names) I would be willing to transfer the title to North Carolina so she could do all of these things if necessary. Please let me know how to do any of this.

It really depends on your license plate tags. If the tags are in north carolina it really wouldnt matter who the car name is in when you go get it inspected at a gas station that offer that service they just check to make sure it in compliance with normal safety, window tint, and emissions in certain counties.

Vechile must be inspected within 10 days after registering car in NC.

Long as she just shows the inspector vechile registration they will not question how she paying you just that it registered in nc

Expire inspection of another state will not matter if tag is out of state unless the car is driven back in that state, or failure to change tags within 30 days of residency.

She is going to have to have it registered with NC when the plates expire anyway. Why don't you call a DMV office and ask the question, they at least can tell you how to go about with registering it in NC (unless the plates are good for a year yet).

The plates don't expire for several months. My concern is the cars in my name and because i'm in another state, I'm not sure if I can get it registered in NC. At this time it is not registered in NC.

This is exactly what my friend went through. However, in her case her x husband would not cooperate. DMV is going to require both of you to sign the paperwork, then they will allow her to register it in NC.

Not sure what you mean. Are you saying the vehicle is currently out-of-state? When does the current inspection expire?

If you are visiting a state that has an emissions program, have your vehicle tested and send your passing results to NC-DMV. If the state does not have an emissions program, a one year exemption can be received from NC-DMV. Contact NC-DMV Headquarters for additional information on out-of-state renewals at (919) 715-7000.

Note: In the future, you can have your vehicle inspected within 90 days prior to the expiration date.

I think what he's saying is he lives in another state, but his ex moved to NC with the car that is in his name; the insurance in both of their names.

As long as she can show proof of insurance in NC (she may have to get her own insurance here), she can register the car. When she fills out the DMV paperwork, there is an area where she has to mark who owns the title. Since she's still paying on the car, she needs to put the holder of her loan there and they will request other information about them. I believe you can send a notarized letter stating she didn't steal the car and you are aware that she is getting it registered in NC. You'll have to call the DMV to check that out, of course. Unfortunately you have to sign the paperwork in front of a DMV worker, but maybe you could get them to waive that if you get it notarized in your state.
