What is the procedure for transferring ownership of a used car?

First, drive the car to the market, where an old motor vehicle management company will act as an agent to complete the transfer procedures, including evaluation, inspection, and issuing the ticket. Next, the buyer and seller sign a used car sales contract supervised by the industrial and commercial department. This contract is made in triplicate. Then, the transfer procedures begin, with one copy kept by the buyer and another by the seller.

I had quite a hassle transferring the ownership of my newly purchased used car. First, you need to sign a sales contract with the seller—make sure to do it face-to-face and avoid any shady intermediaries. Then, prepare a bunch of documents, like IDs from both parties, the original owner's vehicle license and the green registration certificate, plus the compulsory traffic insurance proof. Miss any one of these, and the DMV will send you home empty-handed. It's best to check for any outstanding traffic violations beforehand, or the transfer might get stuck halfway. Next, take the car to an inspection station or directly to the DMV for an exterior and safety check—be prepared to queue, as wasting half a day isn’t uncommon. Finally, submit the application, pay the fees, and get the new certificate to wrap it up. The whole process seems straightforward but is packed with details. If the seller isn’t reliable, things can easily go sideways, so it’s wise to verify the car’s history before transferring ownership to avoid headaches later.

When transferring a used car, extra caution is required. I always remind friends not to rush into signing. The first step is to sign a written contract to clarify responsibilities; otherwise, it's hard to explain if something goes wrong. Document preparation is crucial: original IDs of both parties must be brought, along with the original registration certificate, vehicle license, and compulsory insurance policy. Missing any one item means having to come back another day. The DMV requires a vehicle inspection to check for illegal modifications or accident traces—don't skip this step to avoid buying a lemon. Don't forget to check for traffic violations on your phone beforehand to avoid wasting time in line. Before paying fees, confirm the cost list to avoid overcharges, and only feel at ease when you receive the new documents. It's best to complete the entire process in one day; otherwise, expired documents can cause more trouble. After the transfer, remember to update the insurance policy name immediately for safety.

The process of transferring a used car's ownership is actually not complicated: just follow a few simple steps. First, don't rush when signing the contract with the seller—make sure all details are clearly written. Prepare the original ID cards of both parties, the vehicle license, registration certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance proof. Drive the car to an inspection point for a check, then submit the materials at the vehicle management office and wait in line. After paying the fees and receiving the new certificate, you're all set. Throughout the process, ensure all documents are clear and free of stains, and that the car has no outstanding violations for a smooth transfer. The whole process can be completed in half a day if everything goes smoothly, with minimal effort. Booking an appointment in advance or choosing a weekday when it's less crowded can make the process more efficient. Once the transfer is done, the car will be officially under your name, so you can drive with peace of mind.
