According to the NC DOT their laws do not set a minimum age limit as to ownership of a car as long as the car owner can sign their name on the application of title. But a license plate cannot be issued without auto insurance on the car.
According to North Carolina DOT, insurance providers normally will require you to have a parent or guardian sign your insurance paperwork if you are under eighteen years of age and thus still considered a minor.
Once you find out the laws for registering and titling a car in Greensboro NC you then can contact insurance carriers for quotes and for their guidelines on a minor getting a car insurance policy. Most insurance providers will require a parent or guardian to sign on an car insurance policy with you since it is a legal document.
