Here are the materials required for used car transfer: For the seller: Original and photocopy of ID card, original and photocopy of vehicle registration certificate, original and photocopy of driving license, original and photocopy of purchase invoice, and vehicle purchase tax payment certificate. For the buyer: One original ID card and three photocopies, motor vehicle registration/transfer/cancellation form, transfer application form.

If the buyer is a non-local resident, a temporary residence permit valid for a certain period is needed. Here is more information about used car transfer: The used vehicle transfer process is an essential procedure in buying and selling used cars.

Last month I just helped a friend complete a used car transfer, and there were quite a few things to prepare for this matter. Both the buyer and seller need to bring their original ID cards and copies. The original owner must have the vehicle registration certificate (green book), license plate registration document, and license plates. The vehicle also needs to be driven to the DMV for an on-site inspection and photo. By the way, remember to check in advance if there are any outstanding traffic violations, otherwise the transfer will be blocked. Nowadays, many places require both parties to be present in person to sign. If you authorize someone else to handle it, you also need to prepare a power of attorney and the agent's ID card. It's best to have a copy of the sales contract ready, as some DMVs will ask for it. My friend once encountered a minor issue where the engine number was too blurry to read clearly, so I recommend cleaning the VIN and engine number locations in advance.

I just bought a used car recently, and the transfer process turned out to be more complicated than expected. First, both the buyer's and seller's original ID cards must be brought along, and the seller needs to prepare the vehicle registration certificate and driving license – none of these can be missing. It's best to print two copies of the sales contract in advance for easier on-site signing. The vehicle itself plays a crucial role – it must be cleaned and driven to the DMV for inspection by the staff. If the original owner is unavailable, the agent needs to bring the owner's power of attorney and their own ID card. Don't forget that the compulsory traffic insurance policy must also be valid – I once saw a newcomer make a wasted trip because of this. Finally, it's advisable to go early to queue, as the transfer windows are often overcrowded these days.

Just accompanied someone through a used car transfer last week. The core requirements are these: original ID cards of both buyer and seller, the vehicle's registration certificate (green book), and the license plate certificate. The vehicle must be driven to the site for inspection, and the license plates should also be brought along. If the original owner can't attend, remember to prepare a power of attorney in advance. It's advisable to prepare the sales contract beforehand to avoid rushing to fill out forms at the DMV. A small tip: don't leave too many items in the car as the VIN and engine numbers need to be clearly visible during inspection. The whole process takes about two hours, but queuing can be time-consuming.
