Recently bought an used car from my uncle?

He was stationed in North Carolina and bought the car there (has North Carolina plates and everything), he moved to California and that s where he sold me the car. I live in California and he resided here until he was restationed to A base near Seattle, WA.

I bought his 1999 Honda Civic from him with 169,000 miles on it for $1500, I consider it a reasonable amount.

Thing is, certificate of title is in North Carolina papers and I think I need it to be registered in California right?

My question is, what steps do I do to ensure I can drive the car legally and with all it s papers (aside from my license)?
I got the certificate of title notarized already. Do I send it to North Carolina or do I send it to my DMV?

Please help. 21 year old first time buyer.
