How to Handle the Operating Permit for Truck Title Transfer and Ownership Change?
2 Answers
The method for handling the operating permit during truck title transfer and ownership change involves bringing copies of the original owner's ID card and transaction invoice, along with the original "Road Transport Business License" and "Road Transport Certificate" to the transport management office to complete the transfer-out procedures, followed by a new application. The specific steps are as follows: 1. The operator requests to transfer the vehicle registration or change ownership: Submit an application to the original issuing transport management authority and fill out the "Vehicle Transfer and Registration Change Application Form." 2. Register the vehicle management file: Upon receiving the application, the transport management authority will issue a vehicle transfer and registration change certificate, retrieve the vehicle's "Road Transport Certificate," and record the changes in the vehicle management file. 3. Transfer the vehicle management file: If the vehicle transfer or ownership change involves different jurisdictions, the original issuing transport management authority must transfer the vehicle management file to the transport management authority in the new location. 4. Reapply: After the vehicle transfer or ownership change, if the new owner intends to continue road transport operations, they must submit the truck transfer and ownership change certificate along with the vehicle file to the transport management authority in the new location to reapply.
Last time I helped a friend with the transfer of a truck, the operating license was crucial. When going to the DMV for the transfer and file extraction, the operating license needed to be handled as well. I brought the vehicle registration certificate, ID card, transfer agreement, and the original operating license, submitted the materials at the counter first, and they canceled the old license before applying for a new one. The whole process took a day or two, and the truck couldn’t hit the road until the new license was issued—otherwise, driving it would risk fines and points. I recommend checking the operating license’s expiry date in advance; if it’s close to expiring, renewing it on the spot is faster. Also, don’t forget to clear the vehicle and vessel tax, or the transfer will stall. Experience taught me to bring extra copies to save time. For used trucks, buyers must confirm the operating license has no disputes to avoid future hassles. In short, take it step by step during the transfer—don’t skip documents for convenience. Safety first.
