Do I Need to Bring My Camaro to be registered at the N.C. DMV?

[78TypeLTCamaro]

I need to get a license and then register my Honda CRV and my Camaro in March. I like to get them both done at the same time. I have the title of both. They are presently registered in RI and I don't think I will get the Camaro down to N.C. until mid Summer at the earliest. Would there be a problem if I register them both at the same time? If they ask to see the Camaro, I can say it is in storage?

It may be weird to some, but I am getting a Veteran plate and would like to have consecutive numbered plates if possible.

The internet is your friend LOL:

Titling & Registering a Vehicle​

After obtaining a North Carolina driver license, new residents must also register their vehicle when they accept gainful employment or at the expiration of the time granted by the reciprocity agreement between North Carolina and their prior state of residence (usually 30 days), whichever occurs first.

To register, take the following to a local license plate agency:

• Vehicle title (or if held by a lender, a registration card)
• MVR-1 Title Application
• MVR-180 Odometer Disclosure (if vehicle is less than 10 years old)
• A North Carolina driver license or a valid out-of-state driver license along with a North Carolina Temporary Driving Certificate
• North Carolina vehicle insurance information

Looks like they do not require the vehicle to be present.

I agree the information is on the web. I did hear a report about someone's car needing to be checked. Whether it was true or not I was not sure. I do know I am coming from out of state and it may be different. For example, for N.C. I need to pay sales tax on both of my vehicles based on book value regardless that I paid R.I. sales tax on my Honda 16 months ago and my Camaro 38 years ago. I heard it is their way of making some money on incoming residents. Thanks.
