北卡10月1日起推行车辆电子登记，车牌年份贴纸正式走入历史
罗利消息——北卡罗来纳州机动车辆管理局（NCDMV）推行的车辆电子登记制度自10月1日起正式生效。据州车管局经DoRaleigh发布的说明，新规实施后，车牌上沿用多年的年份贴纸不再发放，续期登记也不再自动邮寄纸质登记卡，车辆登记信息改以电子方式记录与查验。
车管局强调，取消贴纸不等于取消义务：车主仍须按时完成车辆安全与排放检测、缴纳登记费与车辆财产税，登记才有效。执法人员今后可通过电子系统核查车辆状态。州政府表示，数字化可减少印刷与邮寄成本，也避免贴纸被盗、登记卡遗失等麻烦。
罗利所在的韦克县车辆保有量庞大，车管局提醒车主，近期办理续期的市民应留意官网说明，确认自己的登记已在系统中更新；对电子记录不放心的车主，仍可按规定申请纸质凭证。
车管局提醒，登记续期目前可通过官网、手机应用与各地服务网点办理，未按时续期的车辆上路可能被处以罚款，车主应留意登记到期月份，提前完成检测与缴费。取消贴纸后，路边执法与停车管理将以电子系统查询为准，车主如对系统中的登记状态有疑问，可凭身份证明到车管局网点或通过官方热线核实。数字化登记也是北卡车管局近年服务改革的一部分，此前该局已陆续推出驾照预约、在线补办等功能，官方目标是减少网点排队时间。罗利所在的韦克县是全州人口最多的县，车管局表示已为新政实施后的咨询高峰做好准备，常见问题解答已发布在官网。

North Carolina Drops License Plate Stickers as Digital Vehicle Registration Begins Oct. 1
RALEIGH — North Carolina's move to digital vehicle registration took effect October 1, according to the state Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV), via DoRaleigh. Under the new system, the familiar year stickers on license plates are no longer issued, and printed registration cards are no longer automatically mailed at renewal; registration records are now kept and verified electronically.
The DMV stressed that dropping the sticker does not drop the obligations: owners must still complete safety and emissions inspections and pay registration fees and vehicle property taxes for a registration to be valid. Officers can check a vehicle's status through the electronic system. Officials said digitization cuts printing and mailing costs and avoids problems such as stolen stickers and lost cards.
Wake County, home to Raleigh, has a large vehicle fleet, and the DMV advised owners renewing soon to check its website and confirm their records are updated. Drivers who prefer paper can still request documentation as provided under the rules.
The DMV notes that renewals can be handled on its website, by mobile app or at local offices, and that driving on an expired registration can draw fines — owners should note their renewal month and complete inspections and payments on time. With stickers gone, roadside and parking enforcement will rely on electronic lookups; owners who spot an error in their record can verify it at a DMV office or through the official hotline. Digital registration is part of the agency's wider service overhaul, which has added license-appointment booking and online replacements in recent years with the stated goal of cutting office lines. Wake County is the state's most populous county, and the DMV said it has prepared for a surge of questions after the change, with an FAQ posted on its website.
