FAQ Answer

Vehicles must be registered in North Dakota when residency is established or when employment is accepted, whichever occurs first.

A person is considered a resident of North Dakota after living in the state for 90 days, unless you are a nonresident student, a tourist, or a member of the armed forces. Full-time students and military personnel are exempt from registration, but current license plates from their home state must be displayed on their vehicle.
