I live in CA and I need to get a copy of my NC car title FAST. How can I have someone get it for me?

Question

I have a friend in NC who can go get it for me but I need to know do I get a limited Power of attorney or do I get an affidavid? And what would the POA or affidavid say? What info or papers do I need to send my friend to make this happen? Does she need a copy of my nc registration and insurance info?

Answer 1

You will need to give Power of Attorney to your friend, the form will state that it is only for the transaction of a vehicle title, give description and VIN, date, and be sure it is notorized. You will also need to make a written statement, also notorized, stating that you have lost the title, that you need the title expediated because of title/registration issues in California. It would be best if you sent her your registration, just to make things easier, having documentation regarding the car can't hurt. You can pick up a Power of Attorney form either through the DMV, or a stationary store.

Answer 2

I used to live in Alabama and a credit union had my title there b/c I got the loan from them for my car. When I went to Texas I didnt have the title, but You can call the place where your title is and have them fax you a certified copy. They might be able to accept that...thats what I had to do in order to get my tags and registration for texas. But the court house kept the copy for their files...

Answer 3

Contact the NC DMV and ask them exactly what is needed for a transaction of this type. They will be able to tell you what paperwork you'd need.

Good luck with your titling issues!

Hi Susan,

Call the NC DOT/DMV right now - ask them to overnight you a copy at your expense (probably will need a credit card), and ask very nicely. If they can, ask if a fax or PDF wil count--this could get it to you in minutes or seconds.

Hope this helps, Susan.
