Registration Details

After you’ve settled on a model and any customizations, and after securing financing, it’s time to go over the checklist that will make golf cart registration feel like a breeze. Of course, you must register the golf cart with the DMV and get liability insurance. But this isn’t the only thing you have to think about regarding proper registration.

Here are all the other boxes that you need to check when purchasing a golf cart and before registering the LSV:

The golf cart must have a high-speed motor ranging from 20 to 25 mph.
The golf cart must be intended for use on 35 mph and below roads.
It should have headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and flashers.
It should have a license plate light, along with four reflectors.
It should have a horn, speedometer, and seatbelts for every passenger.
It should have vehicle-grade side mirrors and side mirrors.
It should have a DOT-certified windshield, wiper, and tires.
The designated driver must be 16 years and older and have a valid driver’s license.
Last but not least, the golf cart needs a federal VIN, tags, title, and inspection.

Furthermore, you must always follow North Carolina laws for driving a golf cart – as well as the local golf cart laws:

You must also schedule a yearly state inspection for your golf cart and ensure its license plate is renewed annually.

Remember, you can only drive them on roads with a maximum speed limit of 35 mph. And you may be charged with a DWI and other alcohol-related offenses if found driving your golf cart while under the influence.
