Antique and Custom-Built Vehicle Registration Process
Effective January 2, 2008, the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles is
changing the procedure for registering an antique or custom-built motor vehicle.
Customers who are bringing an antique or custom-built vehicle into North Carolina
for first time registration, or who have custom assembled a motor vehicle will be
referred to a DMV License and Theft Bureau Inspector. For details on contacting an
Inspector in your area click here. Your local Inspector is equipped and ready to
assist you with the procedures to properly register your antique or custom-built
vehicle.
