How to Handle the Vehicle License for a Used Car?
2 Answers
Here is an introduction on how to handle the vehicle license for a used car: 1. Materials: First, prepare all the necessary materials for the used car transaction, including the vehicle license, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle purchase tax certificate, road maintenance fee receipt, insurance policy, vehicle and vessel usage tax certificate, and ID card. The used car transaction contract must be supervised by the industrial and commercial department, with both the buyer and seller holding a copy. The contract must be filed with the industrial and commercial department, and the vehicle change or transfer procedures can only proceed after filing. If any discrepancies are found in the relevant documents, it is recommended that the owner make the necessary changes in advance. 2. Related Notes: When purchasing a used car, pay attention to the vehicle's condition, such as the production date and mileage. The mileage can reflect how long the car has been driven, directly indicating its service life, and helps avoid unnecessary troubles during the transfer process.
Handling the used car license is essentially the transfer process. I just helped a friend with it once. Both the buyer and seller need to bring the original ID cards, the vehicle registration certificate (the green booklet), the original license, and the compulsory traffic insurance policy must also be valid. The most crucial step is to first obtain the used car transaction invoice, which can usually be processed at used car markets. Then, drive the car to the DMV for inspection. The staff will verify the VIN and engine number—make sure to settle any traffic fines beforehand. After the inspection, submit the materials at the service hall, fill out the transfer registration application form, pay the transfer fee, and select a new license plate. Finally, wait for the new license and plates to be made. The whole process can be completed in half a day if things go smoothly, depending on how busy the DMV is that day. It’s recommended to book a DMV appointment in advance to save a lot of time.
