Terry Said:

Does transferring a title to my husband's name involve getting a new license plate?

We Answered:

Title and registration are two different things. I'm unfamiliar with the specifics of North Carolina but in most states the registration and title do not need to be in the same name. For example, in most states a minor can't own a car so a parent is the owner although the car is registered to the child. Similarly if you lease a car it is registered to you but the lease company is on the title. You can change the title without changing the registration. If you don't change the registration you don't need new tags.

Any doubts visit the NC DMV website or give them a call.

Evelyn Said:

driving in florida with a north carolina license plate?

We Answered:

No, you should have no trouble. When she signs the car over to you is when you should get Florida plates, insurance and registration. As long as you gave a valid licence, permission to drive the insured car, despite what others are saying here, your insurance should be valid too.
