How to Check If a Vehicle Has Been Transferred to Someone Else?

Bring your ID card to the local vehicle management office for inquiry. Methods to check if a vehicle has been transferred: First, prepare your identity information and go directly to the vehicle management office for inquiry. Second, indirectly check through vehicle violation inquiries. The former is straightforward—the owner takes their identity information to the vehicle management office's computer or window staff for inquiry. The advantage is that it is the most direct and clear method, but the downside is that it requires the person to make a trip, which can be quite troublesome. The latter involves entering the vehicle information (license plate number) into a vehicle violation query system. If the information is found, it indicates the transfer was successful. If no information is found or only the original owner's vehicle information appears, it means the transfer was not completed. The brief process for vehicle transfer is as follows: The used vehicle market implements an agency system for vehicle transfers, where the transfer window does not directly handle transactions for consumers. Drive the vehicle to the used car market, and a used vehicle operating company will complete the transfer procedures on your behalf: evaluation, vehicle inspection, and ticket issuance.

I just checked the transfer status of my old car a couple of days ago, and this is definitely not something to take lightly. The most reliable method is to pull out the vehicle registration certificate, that big green booklet, and flip to the transfer registration section. The name listed in the most recent registration record shows who the current owner is. If you don't have the green booklet handy, just take your ID card to the local DMV, explain at the service counter that you want to check the transfer records, and the staff can pull up the current owner's information by entering the license plate number. I've also tried checking through the Traffic Management 12123 app—after logging in, you can click on the vehicle services section to see the vehicle status, but it doesn't show detailed transfer information. If you're in a real hurry, you can check the compulsory traffic insurance policy. If the name of the insured in the insurance company's system has changed, it usually means the car has been transferred. That said, the most authoritative source is still the DMV's records. It might be a bit of a hassle, but the results are accurate.

There are actually three common methods I use to check vehicle ownership transfer records. The first choice is to go directly to the local DMV office. Remember to bring your ID card and the original vehicle registration certificate, fill out an application form at the inquiry window, and clearly state that you want to check the vehicle transfer records. You can quickly obtain the current registered owner information. If you find it troublesome to visit the DMV, you can open the Traffic Management 12123 APP, log in, and navigate to the vehicle information page. Although it won't directly show when the transfer occurred, you can see the current owner's name, and cross-checking with the registration certificate can confirm the details. Another method is to check the vehicle insurance policy. The name listed in the insured party section of the recently purchased compulsory traffic insurance policy usually indicates who the current owner is. If none of these methods are convenient, you can try contacting the used car dealer from whom you purchased the vehicle and ask them to help check the transaction records, though this method is less reliable.

To check if a car has been transferred, I think the simplest way is to look at the vehicle registration certificate. That green-covered booklet specifically records transfer details, with each change of ownership leaving the new owner's name and date in the registration section. If you have the 'Big Green Book' with you, just flip to the latest record. If the certificate isn't handy, log into the Traffic Management 12123 APP to check the vehicle status—though it won't show detailed transfer history, it displays the current registered owner. Another trick is to check the annual inspection sticker; newly transferred vehicles usually have the inspection decal under the new owner's name. If still unsure, just visit the DMV for a record check—bring your ID and it'll take just minutes.
