North Carolina’s Digital Driver Shift | Raleigh News

North Carolina is ditching paper driver’s registration cards and plate stickers—everything’s going digital, making it easier for cops to verify status on the spot. The state’s new budget pushes for efficiency and cost-cutting, though the DMV’s not thrilled. Physical copies? Still available, but with a fee. Plus, automatic license plate readers are now permanent, with over 100 cameras already deployed and more coming to state land. Law enforcement, including local agencies using private tech like Flock Safety, will get real-time data—held for 90 days unless part of an investigation. Critics, including the ACLU, warn this erodes privacy, calling the 90-day window too long and lacking safeguards compared to other states.
