Can China V Emission Standard Vehicles Be Transferred?
2 Answers
China V emission standard vehicles can be normally transferred. Below are the procedures for vehicle transfer: 1. Seller: The owner's ID card, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle license, and original purchase invoice are required. If it is a company, the original organization code certificate and official seal are needed. 2. Buyer: The buyer's ID card is required. For non-locals who want to register the vehicle locally, a valid residence permit is also needed. If the buyer is a company, the original organization code certificate and official seal are required. 3. Contract: Both the seller and buyer must sign a used car sales contract. 4. Transfer: Bring all the above documents, and both parties can complete the transfer at the used car transfer hall.
I recently bought a China V standard car, and the transfer process really depends on where you are. I bought it from a neighboring province and initially wanted to transfer it directly to my small county, but the local vehicle management office didn’t approve, saying the provincial capital had already implemented the China VI policy. Later, I checked and found that first-tier cities and main urban areas of second-tier cities mostly restrict the entry of China V vehicles, allowing only local transfers or transfers to remote areas. If you live in a third- or fourth-tier city or rural area, the transfer might not be an issue. At the time, I contacted an acquaintance of the seller to confirm the specific requirements of the local vehicle management office, such as needing proof of local household registration to process the transfer. For used car transactions, you also have to test whether the emissions meet the standards—the whole process was quite a hassle. I recommend calling the local vehicle management office directly to avoid a wasted trip. Policies update quickly these days, so it’s always good to double-check.
