Does 'Vehicle Transfer Out' Mean Ownership Transfer?
2 Answers
Status 'Transfer Out' refers to the status of a motor vehicle, indicating that the vehicle has undergone an ownership transfer. Here is the relevant information: 1. Documentation: The motor vehicle recycling enterprise shall, within seven days after the vehicle is dismantled, submit the application form, motor vehicle registration certificate, license plate, vehicle registration certificate, and a copy of the 'Recycled Motor Vehicle Certificate' to the vehicle management office to apply for deregistration. 2. Vehicle Damage: If the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the place of registration, the owner may sell the scrapped vehicle to a motor vehicle recycling enterprise at the vehicle's location. When selling the vehicle, the owner must fill out an application form and submit the motor vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and vehicle registration certificate.
Vehicle transfer-out and ownership transfer are two related but not entirely identical concepts. Vehicle transfer-out mainly refers to the relocation of a vehicle's registration from its original location to a new one, such as moving from Beijing to Shanghai. This process usually requires completing ownership transfer procedures, as the change of ownership is a key part of it. For example, if you sell your car to someone from another region, the owner information must be updated during the transfer-out. Ownership transfer, on the other hand, pertains to the change of ownership itself, including situations like sales or gifts. In my research on automotive matters, I've noticed that many people confuse the two, but transfer-out often involves updating vehicle information and paying taxes and fees, while ownership transfer focuses more on the legal change of ownership. In practice, at the vehicle management office, the two processes are often handled together to avoid duplication of effort. In summary, vehicle transfer-out does not necessarily mean ownership transfer, but most of the time they occur simultaneously. I recommend consulting local authorities before proceeding to ensure a smooth process and avoid delays due to misunderstandings.
