Do I need to go to the local DMV to sell a car?

Selling a car and transferring ownership must be processed at the DMV in the city where the vehicle's license plate is registered. Documents required for selling a car: Vehicle Registration Certificate: The vehicle must be within the valid inspection period, and the registration certificate must have proof of the valid inspection. Vehicle Title (Registration Certificate): If the vehicle title is missing, it must be reissued before the transfer can proceed. Proof of Vehicle Purchase Tax: Generally, legally traded vehicles have this document, but special cases like "black plate" vehicles, smuggled cars, or confiscated vehicles lack this proof. The purchase tax must be paid, and the proof must be issued before the transfer. Invoice for the Vehicle: The original purchase invoice or the last transfer receipt is required. If the seller loses it, an individual can write and sign a statement, while a company must affix its financial seal on the statement. Identity Proof: The original ID of the vehicle owner is needed. For company-owned vehicles, the company seal and organization code certificate are required. If the company has changed its name or gone out of business, a proof from the industrial and commercial department is necessary.
