How to Check Vehicle Transfer Information?

[SanIsaac]

To check vehicle transfer information, you need to bring your ID card to the local vehicle management office for inquiry. Below is relevant information about vehicle transfer: 1. Concept of vehicle transfer: Each car has a fixed registration, just like a person. The car registration mainly records the owner and address of the car, as well as some related car parameters. Vehicle transfer refers to changing the name of the vehicle owner, which is also the most important step in buying a used car besides checking the car's condition. 2. Documents required for vehicle transfer: Original owner's ID card, new owner's ID card, original/duplicate of vehicle license, purchase tax certificate, vehicle and vessel tax payment certificate, motor vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle inspection report, insurance policy/card/invoice. All of the above must be provided in original.

I remember last time when helping a friend check a used car, we drove directly to the local DMV. After queuing for a while, we just needed the copy of the owner's ID and the vehicle identification number, then filled out an application form. It usually costs a few dozen RMB. Their archives clearly record each transfer date and previous owner information. That time we found the car had an accident record, which scared me into giving up the deal immediately. There are also official apps online, like the Traffic Management 12123 or Alipay, where you can try, but you need to register and bind your identity first. I think this task should be done in person, and it's good to check the original vehicle registration certificate while you're at it to avoid being scammed. After all, cars with too many transfers are prone to issues, so checking in advance saves both money and hassle.

As a used car buyer, I'm accustomed to checking the vehicle history report first. CARFAX or domestic Autohome report websites are quite useful—just enter the VIN, spend a little money, and you can access records like transfer history and accident records. If the seller is unwilling to provide it, I go to the DMV myself to retrieve the report, remembering to bring a copy of the vehicle registration. During the check, pay close attention to date consistency to avoid situations like last time when I almost bought a car with a rolled-back odometer. I recommend taking screenshots of the results in advance for easy comparison. The whole process requires careful attention—cars with messy transfer records are likely problematic. Spending an extra ten minutes on verification can save you major trouble later.

I quickly handled the vehicle transfer inquiry using a mobile app. Download the 'Traffic Management 12123' app, log in, navigate to 'Motor Vehicle Services', select 'Information Inquiry', and enter the license plate number and VIN. Results are available within minutes. The data displays transfer records clearly, including dates, locations, and previous owner lists. The cost is usually around ten yuan, which is quite cost-effective. Online platforms like the WeChat mini-program 'Che Yi Cha' are also good options, saving the hassle of visiting the DMV. But remember to verify details to avoid input errors—key is to ensure buying safety, don't risk big for small gains.
