2 Answers
For cross-province transfer of used cars, you need to bring the ID cards of both parties, the vehicle registration certificate, the driving license, the engine rubbing number, and the buyer needs to have a local ID card or residence permit. The following is a related introduction about cross-province transfer: 1. Transfer requirements: Be sure to confirm the local receiving requirements first and deal with the vehicle's violations. The time required for cross-province vehicle transfer is relatively long. 2. Cost: The total transfer cost is between 300-800, and the specific cost depends on the vehicle's displacement and the local vehicle management office's policy. 3. Notes: (1) Before purchasing the car, ask clearly about the policy requirements of the destination, mainly the requirements for emission standards and vehicle service life. With the improvement of environmental protection standards, many places have raised the standards for vehicle registration. (2) Verify the procedures and violation handling of the transaction vehicle. Verify whether the vehicle is a regular vehicle, check the rubbing number (engine, frame number), and exclude theft.
Last year, I bought a used car and transferred it from Guangdong to Hubei, and the cross-province ownership transfer was quite a hassle. You must bring your ID card, vehicle license, and the original vehicle registration certificate, and the seller also needs to be present to sign. The vehicle must undergo an inspection to ensure it meets emission standards; otherwise, the process can't proceed. You also need to have the compulsory insurance policy and purchase tax certificate ready. The fees include the file transfer fee and registration fee, totaling a few hundred yuan. First, go to the original vehicle management office to complete the transfer-out process, wait a few days to get the certificate, and then go to the new location to complete the transfer-in. The whole process took me over a week, and queuing was time-consuming, so I recommend avoiding peak periods. Don’t forget to check for traffic violations and transfer the insurance after the ownership transfer—these details aren’t always clearly explained and can easily cause problems.
