What does it mean for a car to have no paperwork?
1 Answers
No paperwork means the car lacks the vehicle registration certificate, factory certificate, and other documents, as well as an invoice, making it impossible to obtain a license plate. Such cars are commonly referred to as black cars, with smuggled and stolen vehicles falling under this category. Below is additional information: Can you buy a car with no paperwork: Cars without paperwork should not be purchased. The transfer of ownership cannot be processed, making it impossible to legally obtain ownership of the vehicle. These vehicles are mostly stolen and may eventually be seized by authorities and returned to their rightful owners. Consequences of being caught with a car that has no paperwork: If caught driving a car without paperwork on the road, the vehicle will be temporarily impounded. If the owner can later provide the necessary paperwork, the vehicle may be returned, but the driver will face a fine and one point deducted from their license. If the paperwork cannot be provided, the vehicle will be confiscated, the driver fined, and if the vehicle is suspected to be illegal, the driver's license will be revoked.
