Does the owner need to be present for vehicle transfer?

[StMaximus]

For vehicle transfer, the owner does not need to be present in person, but they must prepare a power of attorney to authorize an agent to handle the transfer on their behalf. The following documents are required: the power of attorney, the original owner's ID card, the new owner's ID card, the original and duplicate of the vehicle license, the purchase tax certificate, the road maintenance fee receipt, the vehicle and vessel tax payment certificate, the motor vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle inspection report from the criminal investigation department, and the insurance policy. Some documents must be original copies, and photocopies are not acceptable. Vehicle transfer refers to the change of the vehicle's ownership name. The necessity of completing the transfer is that it legally finalizes the transfer of vehicle ownership, ensures the legality of the vehicle's source, and clearly defines the responsibilities related to the vehicle between the buyer and the seller.
