You can verify with the North Carolina state statutes, to check if it specifically notes that proof of insurance must be with at all times while driving or not.

Even if the state statute does not expressly note that the insurance card must be in a car while they are driving, it is always advisable to have the vehicle’s insurance card with the car in case a police officer requests proof of insurance or if you must provide this insurance information to others after being in a crash.
