If you are the sole owner of a vehicle in North Carolina, and you want to remove a co-owner from the title, you will need to follow these steps.
1. Go to your local Division of Motor Vehicles office with the current vehicle title.
2. Fill out an Application for Certificate of Title (MVR-1A). This form can be found online at the NC DMV website.
3. Include a $20 fee for the duplicate title. Make sure to write a check or money order payable to NCDMV.
4. Mail the completed application and fee to: NC Division of Motor Vehicles, 3148 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-3148.
5 Once the DMV processes your request, they will mail you a new certificate of title that does not list the co-owner's name.
