2 Answers
The seller should bring the vehicle license, registration certificate, and both parties' ID cards to the local used vehicle trading market to pay the used vehicle transaction tax. The vehicle will undergo an external inspection, number tracing, license plate removal, and photography. After receiving the vehicle photos, they should be attached to the inspection record form, and then proceed to the transfer hall to complete the filing procedures. After obtaining a number from the ticketing machine, queue up with the relevant materials to pay the transfer fees. Required materials include the Motor Vehicle Registration, Transfer, and Cancellation Form/Transfer Application Form, inspection record form, original motor vehicle property registration certificate, etc.
Motorcycle transfer within the province is actually quite straightforward. I helped a friend with it last time, so let me share the experience. Both the buyer and seller must go to the local vehicle management office together, bringing the original and photocopies of ID cards, vehicle registration certificate, driving license, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the purchase invoice or transfer proof. It's essential to check online beforehand if the motorcycle has any unresolved violations; otherwise, the transfer won't go through. The staff at the vehicle management office will inspect the motorcycle's engine number and appearance on-site to ensure there's no damage or modifications. Fill out a transfer application form, then pay the transfer fee and license plate fee—usually just a few hundred yuan, and you can quickly get the new driving license and registration certificate. It's recommended to go on a weekday when there are fewer people to avoid long queues. Remember to contact the insurance company immediately after the transfer to update the policyholder's name to avoid disputes in case of an accident. Also, if the seller is unfamiliar, it's best to sign a simple sales agreement first to clarify responsibilities. Overall, it's not difficult—just make sure all the materials are ready, and the process will go smoothly.
