How to Transfer a Vehicle to a Family Member?
2 Answers
Methods for transferring a vehicle to a family member: 1. Transaction method: Go to the motor vehicle trading market to complete the relevant procedures. The processing location can be the vehicle management office under the jurisdiction of the transferor's ID card or the transferee's ID card, but the transferor does not need to be present in person. 2. Gift method: You can go to a notary office to complete a gift notarization, and then use the gift statement and notarized certificate to process the transfer registration. The notarization fee is charged based on a percentage of the vehicle's value. To transfer a motor vehicle, all traffic violations and accidents must be resolved, the vehicle's documents must be complete (including purchase invoice, vehicle license, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle insurance, etc.), and the vehicle must pass inspection.
When transferring the car ownership to my son, the whole process felt particularly family-friendly, much less hassle than selling to a third party. The first step was preparing the documents: I needed to bring my ID card, my son's ID card, and household register or marriage certificate to prove our direct kinship; don't forget the vehicle's license, registration certificate, and it's best to bring copies of the compulsory insurance policy. The second step was going together to the local DMV to complete the procedures, filling out a transfer application form, and signing it to confirm; paying a small fee of a few dozen yuan, and saving on the used car transaction tax was really worthwhile. After getting the new license, I immediately notified the insurance company to change the owner's information to avoid disputes in case of an accident claim. As an extra tip, I used Alipay to book an appointment to speed up the process—it only took half a day and helped avoid peak crowds. In short, transferring within the family is easy and safe, just remember to check local policies in advance to prevent oversights.
