A NC Vehicle Registration inquiry can be performed using:

• A. License plate only
• B. VIN only
• C. Any of the above
• D. Social Security Number

Answer: (C)

Multiple identifiers are used to locate a vehicle’s registration record, so the system is designed to be searchable from different angles. A license plate search is the common, quick way to pull up the registration details tied to that plate, including status and expiration. A VIN search targets the vehicle itself and retrieves the registration associated with that specific vehicle, even if the plate changes. In some systems, owner identity verification can involve the Social Security Number to help locate the correct record, though access is usually limited to authorized users. Because this setup allows all these methods to perform a registration inquiry, the best answer is that any of the above can be used.
