NC vehicle requirements
Looking to move to NC (Raleigh) in the near future. Read through the DMV site of what's expected of residents, but I'm curious as to what the diagnostic test looks for to pass inspection.
I Assume being in one of the 22 listed counties an OBDII scan will be conducted to check for ready sensors/status. Does this also include a "sniff" test or visual inspection of all aftermarket components?
Lastly are there any other items I should be made aware of in terms of vehicle compliance or common issues with emphasis by law enforcement? Thanks in advance for any input.

I lived in Wake Forest and took mine to QuickLane for inspections. Other than the regular stuff, they're looking for codes and tint. YMMV

Go to the local DMV office with your title and ID register your car this is after you went an inspection center with your old registration card (out of state).........they will inspect for safety and emissons ($30 if passes). They will give you a report and the inspection station will send it yo Raleigh central DMV. You then go to any DMV office in any North Carolina city or town with your old title, proof of residence and I.D. You surrender old title they in turn will issuse you a new North Carolina & registration card and license plate to attach to your car. The Dmv will also figure personal porerty tax for you to pay on the spot. They don't take credit cards just debit or cash or check with two forms of I.D. (Picture) . I would also take the "Bill of Sale" for your car or cars. Then every year before your tag sticker expires, you'll have to inspect again within 90 days of expairation of sticker. DMV with send out a renewal notice with all the info of personal property to the address you gave them when you registered your car and or truck or motorcycle or trailer. If anry of your cars are older than 25 yrs, saftey inspection only ($6). If older than i think 35yrs old you can apply for an "Antique" tag and no inspection is required, just have to pay $5 plus $50 fee for personal property tax.
Hope this helps you and not compilicate matters of registering your cars, truck,motorcycle, or trailer.

When I moved to NC I went to an office that was able to issue both driver's licenses and vehicle tags. It took several hours but my wife and I received our driver's licenses, registered 3 vehicles, and received our tags all at the same time.
