Does the vehicle owner need to be present for the vehicle transfer and registration process?
1 Answers
For vehicle transfer and registration, the original owner must be present. If the original owner is not available or lacks identity proof, the vehicle transfer process cannot be completed. Key considerations for the transfer process: 1. Consult the DMV: Before relocating the vehicle, inquire at the local DMV where the vehicle will be registered to confirm the DMV's name. 2. Compulsory insurance: Registration in another location requires the vehicle's compulsory insurance, so do not cancel the vehicle insurance before obtaining the new license plate. Cancel the commercial insurance and compulsory insurance only after the new license plate is obtained. 3. Overall process: Before processing the transfer, ensure all traffic violations are settled. The steps include issuing a transaction tax invoice → stamping the vehicle's VIN → checking the vehicle's records → vehicle inspection at the testing station → retrieving the original license plate → internal review for transfer → transfer of additional fees certificate → insurance transfer.
