Is it necessary to return to the local area for out-of-town vehicle transfer?

For vehicle transfer across different regions, it is required to drive the vehicle back to its original location to complete the file extraction procedures, and then proceed to the registration location to handle the motor vehicle transfer registration formalities. The vehicle transfer process is as follows: 1. Issue a transaction: Pay the used car transaction tax. Private accounts are charged 1%, while corporate accounts are charged 4%. 2. Vehicle inspection: Drive the vehicle to the inspection site for external inspection, tracing the number, removing the license plate, and taking photos. Obtain vehicle photos and attach them to the inspection record form, then proceed to the transfer hall to complete the filing procedures. 3. License plate selection: After obtaining a number from the number machine, queue up with relevant materials to pay the transfer fees. 4. Transfer out: Required materials include the Motor Vehicle Registration, Transfer, and Cancellation Form/Transfer Application Form, inspection record form, original motor vehicle property registration certificate, original driving license, original owner's ID card, original vehicle number, vehicle photos, and the transfer invoice from the trading market.
When I bought a car transferred from another city, I didn’t need to go back to the original registration location to handle it. You can directly apply at the local vehicle management office where you currently live, bringing copies of the owner’s ID card, vehicle registration certificate, sales contract, and other required documents. They will help you retrieve and transfer the original files, mostly processed via mail, making the procedure simple and efficient. The entire transfer process is completed in one stop at the local vehicle management office, saving time and effort. I recommend calling the target vehicle management office in advance to ask about specific requirements or checking policies online to prepare all necessary documents and avoid delays. This way, you avoid the hassle of traveling and can finish the process quickly. Remember to ensure the vehicle has no outstanding traffic violations or unpaid taxes, prepare all materials at once, and update insurance and other details promptly after the transfer.
