How do I report a stolen vehicle to the NCDMV
The North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) does not directly handle stolen vehicle reports. If your vehicle has been stolen, you should immediately file a report with your local law enforcement agency. Make sure you provide them with the full details, including your license plate number, vehicle identification number, and the model and color of your vehicle. Once you've filed the police report, contact your insurance company to inform them about the incident and start any necessary claim procedures. The police and your insurance company will guide you further on the next steps.
