Can a New Car Be Transferred_58 Auto A new car can be transferred as long as it is not mortgaged, all vehicle documents and certificates are complete, and the vehicle passes inspection. Vehicle transfer refers to changing the name of the vehicle owner. During the transfer process, it is important to ensure that the vehicle registration certificate and the vehicle license are transferred to the new owner's name. If the vehicle has insurance, the insurance should also be transferred. According to relevant regulations: If the ownership of a registered motor vehicle changes, the new owner must apply for a transfer registration at the local vehicle management office within 30 days from the date of delivery. For non-local residents, a local residence permit must be presented.
I frequently handle car ownership transfers. Of course, a new car can be transferred to someone else, whether the vehicle hasn't been registered yet or has already been registered. You need to bring the original purchase invoice, the original ID card of the owner, and the vehicle registration certificate to the local DMV to apply. If the buyer is not a local resident, a temporary residence permit may also be required. The whole process is simple and quick—fill out a transfer application form, pay a fee of about 100 yuan, and the DMV staff will check that the vehicle has no illegal records before issuing a new license. After the transfer, it's best to quickly contact the insurance company to change the policy to the buyer's name; otherwise, there could be issues with claims in case of an accident. Additionally, transferring a new car doesn’t affect its quality, but it’s advisable to clean and inspect the car before the transfer to avoid disputes later—details make all the difference.
