Is it necessary for the owner to be present for a used car transfer?

It is not mandatory for the owner to be present for a used car transfer; an agent can be entrusted to handle the process. However, relevant documents and certificates must be provided. Below are the required documents for the transfer and the transaction process for selling a car: Documents required for the transfer: The necessary documents and certificates for the transfer procedure must be provided, including ID card, for corporate vehicles the original organization code certificate and official seal are required, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle license, original purchase invoice, transfer invoice for non-first-hand vehicles, insurance policy, and used car sales contract. Car selling transaction process: Inspect the car and check for traffic violations, photocopy the required documents, submit the documents and pay the transaction fees, receive the transaction documents and transaction invoice. Once the used car transaction invoice is obtained, the buyer can take the transaction invoice to the trading market to complete the transfer procedure.
The transfer of a used car does not necessarily require the owner to be present in person. I have bought cars several times, and each time the transfer process encountered different situations. When I last sold a car to a friend, I couldn't make it back due to a business trip, so I entrusted an agent to handle it. They took my ID card copy and a power of attorney, and the process at the vehicle management office went smoothly. However, in some areas, especially in smaller cities like my hometown, the transfer requires the owner to be present for identity verification to avoid disputes. Therefore, I suggest you call the local vehicle management office to ask about the specific policies to avoid a wasted trip. If you choose to delegate, remember to notarize the authorization letter and keep a copy of your ID card. The entire process is quite fast.
