Is it necessary to drive the vehicle for motor vehicle file transfer?

File transfer requires the vehicle to be present on-site, along with the necessary documents for the vehicle file transfer procedure. Vehicle file transfer refers to the process of relocating the vehicle's records from the local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) during a used car transaction. This allows the vehicle to be registered in a new designated location under a new owner, and once specified, it is difficult to change. Vehicle file transfer and ownership change are specific to used cars and are only required for used car transactions. Below is relevant information: 1. For vehicle ownership transfer and file transfer, the original owner must be present. Without the original owner's identification, the file transfer procedure cannot be completed. Both the buyer and seller must provide their ID cards, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle grade certificate, and the vehicle itself to the DMV for the file transfer procedure. Normally, the file transfer envelope will specify a deadline for registration, usually two weeks or one month. The buyer must complete the relevant procedures at the DMV within this period; otherwise, they will need to return to the original DMV to reapply for file transfer. 2. If it is an out-of-town used car ownership transfer, the vehicle must meet the registration standards of the destination location. Different cities and regions have varying vehicle registration standards, so it is advisable to consult the destination DMV in advance when purchasing a used car from another location to avoid issues with vehicle registration and license plate issuance. The process of transferring the vehicle's records from the original location to the destination location and completing the registration and license plate issuance is considered a completed ownership transfer. Additionally, transferring the vehicle's insurance is equally important.
