Is There an Age Limit for Small Car Transfer?
2 Answers
There is no age limit for car transfer. Transaction Processing: Pay the used car transaction tax, with private accounts charged at 1% and corporate accounts at 4%. Vehicle Inspection: Drive the car to the inspection site for external inspection, tracing the vehicle identification number, removing the license plate, and taking photos. Collect the vehicle photos and attach them to the inspection record form, then proceed to the transfer hall to complete the filing procedures. License Plate Selection: After obtaining a number from the dispenser, queue up with the relevant materials to pay the transfer fees. Transfer and Relocation: Required materials include the Motor Vehicle Registration, Transfer, and Cancellation Form/Transfer Application Form, inspection record form, original vehicle property registration certificate, original driving license, original owner's ID card, original license plate number, vehicle photos, and the transfer invoice from the trading market.
Last year, our family transferred a small car to our child who had just been admitted to university, so I have firsthand experience with this. There are no strict age requirements for vehicle ownership transfer—theoretically, even an infant can be registered as an owner. However, in practice, it depends on the situation: if the child is under 18 years old, parents or guardians must handle the transfer with their own identification documents, mainly due to legal validity concerns like signing contracts. For adults, there are no age restrictions at all—it's common to see 80-year-olds transferring ownership. Still, there are special cases to note: some regions require drivers of commercial vehicles to be at least 21 years old, but ordinary family cars have no such restrictions. Just bring the necessary documents like ID cards and registration certificates when transferring ownership—the age of the person handling the process really doesn't matter.
