Can a new car be sold to someone else before it is licensed?

[LaZane]

Yes. As long as the new car has not been licensed, there is no vehicle license, and no transfer of ownership is involved. For a newly purchased car, if you want to transfer it to someone else before licensing, the feasible method is to negotiate with the dealer to cancel the issued sales invoice and issue a new invoice with the transferee's name as the recipient. This way, the transferee can directly register the vehicle under their own name at the vehicle management office. Below is relevant information about vehicle ownership transfer: 1. Required materials: For vehicle transfer, both parties need to provide copies of their ID cards, the registration certificate, and the vehicle license. Then, they must pay the transaction tax at the used car exchange and complete the transfer procedures at the vehicle management department of the traffic police brigade. 2. Related documents: Vehicle transfer requires documents such as the seller's ID card, vehicle license, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle invoice, license plate, chassis number, insurance policy, and tax payment certificate. Note that all materials should be prepared at once to avoid repeated revisions.
