What documents and procedures are required for vehicle transfer?
2 Answers
Materials required for vehicle transfer include the vehicle's driving license, motor vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle registration supplementary form (obtained from the local vehicle management office with ID card and driving license), vehicle purchase tax certificate, compulsory insurance policy for the current year, ID cards of both the buyer and seller, and for non-local residents, a residence permit is required, with the buyer's residence permit needing to be valid for at least one year. Contract signing is required for transfer: Both parties need to sign the "Used Motor Vehicle Sales Contract" supervised by the industrial and commercial department. The contract is made in triplicate, with one copy for each party and one retained by the industrial and commercial department. The vehicle transfer or relocation procedures can only be processed after the contract is filed with the industrial and commercial department. Procedures for transfer: After the evaluation report is issued, the transfer procedures can begin. The completed transfer certificate should be kept by the buyer, and the seller is advised to retain a copy for future reference.
Last time I helped a friend buy a used car, the transfer process was quite cumbersome. All documents must be complete: a copy of the seller's ID card, the buyer's original ID card, the vehicle registration certificate (vehicle license), the car purchase contract or agreement, and the vehicle insurance policy. The procedure involves both parties going to the vehicle management office together, first filling out an application form and then having the car inspected. The staff will verify the vehicle identification number and the authenticity of the materials. The fees generally include the transfer fee and license plate fee, which vary by location, typically costing around three to five hundred yuan. The whole process can take half a day, so it's advisable to make an appointment in advance to save time. Additionally, if the original car has a loan, it must be settled first. In short, don't underestimate these details—missing a document can mean multiple wasted trips.
