Does changing the owner's name count as a transfer of ownership?

[DelilahAnn]

Changing the owner's name does not count as a transfer of ownership. A transfer of ownership requires submitting the relevant materials, completing the corresponding procedures, and registering. The required materials for a transfer of ownership include: Vehicle license: Motor vehicle registration certificate; Motor vehicle registration supplementary form; Vehicle purchase additional tax certificate; Identification cards and household registration books of both the buyer and seller. For non-local residents, a temporary residence permit is required, and the buyer's temporary residence permit must be valid for at least one year. The vehicle management office shall, within one day from the date of acceptance, review the submitted proofs and vouchers, annotate the changes on the motor vehicle registration certificate, reclaim the license plate and vehicle license, determine a new motor vehicle license plate number, and reissue the license plate, vehicle license, and inspection qualification mark. "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" Article 19 If the motor vehicle is owned by two or more persons and the name of the registered owner needs to be changed to another co-owner's name, an application for change of registration can be submitted to the vehicle management office at the place of registration. When applying, all motor vehicle owners shall jointly submit the application, confirm the application information, and provide the motor vehicle registration certificate, vehicle license, identification proofs of the owners before and after the change, and a notarized proof of co-ownership. However, if the vehicle is jointly owned by a married couple, a marriage certificate or a household registration book proving the marital relationship can be provided. The vehicle management office shall, within one day from the date of acceptance, review the submitted proofs and vouchers, annotate the changes on the motor vehicle registration certificate, reclaim the license plate and vehicle license, determine a new motor vehicle license plate number, and reissue the license plate, vehicle license, and inspection qualification mark. If the domicile of the motor vehicle owner after the change is not within the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office, the vehicle management offices of the departure and destination locations shall handle the change of registration in accordance with the provisions of Article 18.
