Looking for any Tips or Tricks. Moved here from NC in August with two boats. Both are registered in NC until 2018. Got a SC DL to get a cheaper hunting license. I have been advised by GW that I am a resident and my NC registration is in violation. I know I have checked online, and downloaded forms, but here are the two hurdles.
Does not appear you can do this online or over phone, Have to go to a DNR office which is an 1.5 hours away.
Boats do not have a tittle as they are both being financed.
In NC its not so difficult as they would allow qualifying dealers and tackle shops the ability to register and renew boats.
Thanks in advance.
If I cannot figure out from the website I just call & they have always been great in helping me out with what I need to do.
Bank should have a title for them but they will probably need to get involved too since it is in their names as lein holder.
NC does not issue titles for outboards but I think they do issue some other form that can be used by SC to create a title from. Bank may have those too. If not you will need to take a pic of the motor plate that has the numbers on it.
I would start by seeing what the bank has on file & then contact DNR & go from there.
Good luck…
SCDNR will send a form to the lien holder requesting the title.
that title will be converted to a SC title and returned to the bank with a new title for the boat and motor.
Im doing the opposite sc to nc.
Easiest thing I have found that I can do is to keep the boat titled in sc with the address on my property I plan to keep in sc
Any other way and I will have to jump through all kinds of hoops to get the trailer titled since it never has had one and the boat it used to carry is now on another trailer and out of state
Makes you wonder why states cant get together and make a similar registration process across the board?
