Can a motorcycle be transferred?
2 Answers
Motorcycles can apply for transfer procedures. The relevant information is as follows: 1. Note: To process the vehicle transfer procedure, the vehicle must have all previous violations resolved, pass the vehicle inspection, and the vehicle must be present to complete the transfer. Both the buyer and seller must hold their respective IDs and vehicle documents (such as the vehicle registration certificate, vehicle license, etc.), and together visit the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to inquire and process the transfer. 2. Application: The vehicle management office should confirm the vehicle, verify the vehicle identification number imprint, review submitted proofs and credentials, retrieve the license plate and vehicle license, determine a new vehicle license plate number, annotate the transfer details in the vehicle registration certificate, and reissue the license plate, vehicle license, and inspection pass mark within one day from the date of accepting the application.
I've been riding motorcycles for over ten years. Last time, I helped a friend transfer ownership of one, and the process wasn't too troublesome. We brought both parties' ID cards, the motorcycle registration certificate, and the purchase proof to the vehicle management office together. After the staff checked the documents, we filled out some forms and paid a small fee—about 50 or 60 yuan. Then, they took photos on-site to confirm the bike's condition. The new certificate was issued within half an hour, and now riding it feels much more secure. Remember to check if the bike has a clean history before transferring ownership to avoid hidden debts or accident issues—safety first. Transferring motorcycle ownership is completely fine, similar to cars, and selling it later is straightforward. Don’t listen to people who say it’s complicated. With so many transferred bikes on the road every day, you’ll understand the process after doing it once.
