Can Vehicle Ownership Be Transferred During National Day?
2 Answers
Vehicle management offices are closed during National Day, so vehicle ownership cannot be transferred. Legal Vehicle Ownership Certificate Required for Transfer: The embossed number, engine number, and registration date on the ownership certificate are key points that require special attention. In addition to verification, it's also important to check for any signs of alteration, as such marks may indicate a fraudulent transaction. Check for Traffic Violation Records: Before transferring ownership of a used vehicle, it's essential to check whether the vehicle has any traffic violation records and if it is within the validity period of the compulsory traffic insurance. Only vehicles with no violation records and valid insurance can proceed with the ownership transfer. Generally, vehicles with outstanding violations cannot be transferred; the violations must be settled first. Presence of Vehicle Purchase Tax Payment Receipt: When transferring ownership of a used vehicle, it's crucial to inspect the original tax receipt of the vehicle. Some vehicles may not have paid the purchase tax initially. After the transfer, these vehicles may be required to pay the outstanding purchase tax, which can be a significant expense. Therefore, it's important to clarify who will be responsible for this payment.
As someone who frequently handles vehicle-related matters, I definitely can't transfer a car ownership during the National Day holiday because government agencies like the DMV are closed on holidays. Last year, I planned to get this done during the holiday but ended up being turned away, so I had to redo it after the holiday. Transferring car ownership requires both parties to be present with documents such as ID cards and the vehicle registration certificate, and the vehicle's condition must also be inspected, along with paying the fees. Delays can affect insurance and annual inspections, so it's advisable to get it done a week before the holiday or on the first day after. Booking an appointment online in advance can save time. Normally, the DMV is open from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays—avoid choosing holidays to avoid trouble. Safety first, and timely transfer prevents disputes.
