What are the procedures for vehicle transfer registration?
2 Answers
For motor vehicle transfer registration, bring your ID card, vehicle license, vehicle registration certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the vehicle management office at the registration location. Obtain the record form and fill it out; follow the instructions to take photos and make imprints of the vehicle at the designated area; after the vehicle inspection, pay the fee and obtain the license plate.
A few years ago, I went through the process of vehicle registration transfer due to a job relocation, and the whole thing was quite straightforward. The first step was to gather all the required documents, such as the original ID card, vehicle registration certificate, driving license, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and tax payment proof—otherwise, it would be a wasted trip to the DMV. The second step was to visit the DMV at the original registration location to complete the transfer-out procedure. They would check if the vehicle complied with regulations, such as having no outstanding violations or expired inspections. The third step was, after obtaining the transfer-out certificate, to drive the vehicle directly to the DMV in the new location and bring all the documents to re-register and get new license plates. It’s best to make an appointment in advance to save time waiting in line—the whole process could be done in about three days. One thing to note is that the vehicle cannot be driven on the road between the transfer-out and re-registration, as it poses risks. I think handling it while moving is the most convenient, and taking care of it promptly avoids future hassles.
