Here are the materials required for the transfer of a used car: 1. The seller needs the original and photocopy of ID card, original and photocopy of vehicle registration certificate, original and photocopy of driving license, original and photocopy of the original purchase invoice, and the tax payment certificate for vehicle purchase tax. 2. The buyer needs one original ID card, three photocopies, the motor vehicle registration, transfer, and cancellation form, and the transfer application form. In purchase-restricted areas, the original and three photocopies of the personal passenger car quota certificate are required. If the buyer is from another city, a temporary residence permit valid for a certain period is needed. Additional information: The transfer process of a used motor vehicle is an essential procedure in the buying and selling of used cars. Vehicle transfer is essentially changing the ownership of the vehicle, and failing to transfer the vehicle can cause inconvenience to both the buyer and the seller.

Last time I helped a friend with a used car transfer, I prepared a lot of documents. The seller's original ID card and a copy were required, and the buyer needed to bring theirs as well. The vehicle registration certificate (the big green book) and the vehicle license are mandatory—don't forget these. You also need the compulsory insurance policy to prove the car is insured. Both parties should go to the DMV together to fill out the transfer application form. Sometimes, a photo of the vehicle is needed, which can be taken on-site. It's advisable to make copies of all documents in advance to avoid multiple trips. Check that the vehicle has no outstanding traffic violations, or the transfer won't go through. The transfer fee isn't expensive, so bringing some cash or a card is sufficient. If everything goes smoothly, the whole process can be completed in about an hour—having all the documents ready is key. Different locations might require additional proofs, so it's best to check the local DMV's official website.

As a first-time used car buyer, I was particularly concerned about documentation issues. The buyer needs to bring their ID card and a copy, while the seller must provide their ID card, vehicle registration certificate, driving license, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. During the transfer process, we signed a simple agreement to clarify any potential disputes later. The DMV verified all documents and checked the vehicle identification number. The whole process went smoothly, but I'd recommend making an appointment in advance to avoid long queues. Ensure all documents are complete - the fees are low, but don't cut corners. One more thing: remember to check the vehicle condition and insurance validity period to avoid future hassles. For beginners, keeping a checklist in your bag can provide extra peace of mind.

When selling a used car, I prepare a copy of the seller's ID card, the original vehicle registration certificate (big green book), and the vehicle license. The buyer only needs to bring their ID card. The key to the transfer is changing the name on the vehicle registration certificate to the buyer's; otherwise, they won't be able to get license plates. We go together to the DMV to submit the materials, and the staff will verify them quickly. A reminder: the vehicle must have no traffic violation records, or it will cause delays. Don't forget to bring the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and make sure it's not expired. The seller's main responsibility is to ensure the timely handover of materials—simply put, the responsibility is light but must be complete. The costs are basically borne by the buyer.
