What is MVR-614?
Form MVR-614, Proof of Residency for Non-Residents, is the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) form that lets a qualifying non-resident apply to title a vehicle in North Carolina without holding a North Carolina driver license. The printed title of the form is "Non-resident's affidavit of intent to title vehicle in North Carolina."
It is a sworn statement made in four parts: vehicle information (Part 1), owner information (Part 2), a verification signed by the owner in the presence of a notary (Part 3) and a notarization block completed by the notary (Part 4). By signing, the owner states that the vehicle will be garaged or kept in North Carolina for six or more months out of the year, that the owner owns, leases or otherwise lawfully occupies the garaging address, and that NCDMV will be notified within 60 days if that address changes.
The form warns that a knowingly false statement on an application for a certificate of title is a Class 1 Felony. It also says that owners who are not in one of the listed non-resident categories need a North Carolina driver license to title their vehicle. NCDMV lists MVR-614 on its vehicle registration forms page under change of address and proof of residency, next to Form MVR-24A, Notice of Change of Address.
Who needs to file MVR-614?
Non-residents who intend to garage or keep their vehicle in North Carolina for at least six months out of the year use MVR-614 to apply for a North Carolina title without a North Carolina driver license. Part 2 lists the status you check:
- an active-duty service member stationed in North Carolina;
- the spouse of an active-duty service member stationed in North Carolina;
- a dependent child of an active-duty service member stationed in North Carolina for at least 6 months of the year;
- a student at a North Carolina college or university;
- a resident of another state who garages the vehicle in North Carolina (the form says you must provide your home state ID or driver license).
Do not use this form if you are not in one of these categories. The form states that vehicle owners outside these categories need a North Carolina driver license to title their vehicle. The vehicle owner is the person who signs Part 3 before a notary; the form has no signature block for a representative.
When to file MVR-614
Use MVR-614 when you apply to title your vehicle in North Carolina as a non-resident, because the form is provided for that application and the owner must give a copy of a valid out-of-state driver license when submitting it. The form prints no separate due date.
After the title is issued, the statements you sign keep applying. You agree to notify NCDMV of a new garaging address within 60 days, and the form says you will not be eligible to maintain North Carolina title or registration if your military or military dependent status changes, or if you no longer garage or keep the vehicle in North Carolina for at least 6 months of the year.
Documents you need
- A copy of the vehicle owner's valid out-of-state driver license, provided when the form is submitted.
- Home state ID or driver license, if you check the status for a resident of another state who garages the vehicle in North Carolina.
- Student ID or other proof of enrollment, where Part 2 asks for it (printed beside the spouse option; the student option also refers to a North Carolina college or university).
- Military ID Number, entered in Part 2, if you are an active-duty service member.

How to submit MVR-614
MVR-614 is submitted to NCDMV with your application to title the vehicle. The form itself prints no mailing address, portal or office instructions, and the NCDMV forms page lists it among its vehicle registration forms without a separate submission procedure.
- Before you submit: sign Part 3 in front of a notary, who completes Part 4 (names of principals, signature, date, county, state, seal, printed name and commission expiration).
- What goes with the form: a copy of your valid out-of-state driver license, plus the other documents Part 2 asks for, depending on the status you check.
- Where to ask: for the office or channel that handles your title application, and for any fee, check the NCDMV forms page at https://www.ncdot.gov/dmv/downloads/Pages/registration.aspx.
FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the NCDMV channels above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using MVR-614 when you are not an active-duty service member, dependent, student or other non-resident; the form says other owners need a North Carolina driver license to title a vehicle.
- Signing Part 3 before meeting the notary; the verification must be completed in the presence of a notary.
- Submitting the form without a copy of your valid out-of-state driver license.
- Leaving out the proof Part 2 asks for, such as student ID or proof of enrollment, or home state ID/DL for a resident of another state.
- Checking more than the one status that applies, or none at all, in the Part 2 non-resident status list.
- Giving a North Carolina garaging address you do not own, lease or otherwise lawfully occupy.
- Making a knowingly false statement; the form says this on a title application is a Class 1 Felony.
- Not telling NCDMV about a new garaging address within 60 days.
