What procedures are required for a change of vehicle ownership?

[VanVanessa]

Car transfer requires the following procedures: vehicle inspection, license plate removal, photography, number tracing, invoice issuance, change of vehicle owner, number selection, license plate installation, obtaining the updated registration certificate, and a new vehicle license. Documents required for vehicle transfer: ID cards of the original owner and the new owner; The vehicle's motor vehicle registration certificate; The vehicle's motor vehicle license. For the transfer process, we only need to prepare the above three documents. It should be noted that if the owner is not a local resident, a valid temporary residence permit or residence permit is also required. In areas with license plate restrictions or purchase limits, the new owner must also prepare the corresponding license plate quota documents. Additionally, the motor vehicle registration certificate must be in normal status and eligible for transfer; vehicles with mortgages or abnormal status cannot be transferred. The motor vehicle license must be complete. Detailed steps for the transfer process: Vehicle inspection: Similar to the inspection process for new vehicles, this involves checking the vehicle's appearance, any modifications, or abnormalities. Note that if the vehicle has obvious external modifications, such as added external steps, these must be removed before passing the inspection. Number tracing, license plate removal, and photography can be considered part of the vehicle inspection process. Number tracing involves imprinting the chassis number and engine number. License plate removal means taking off the vehicle's license plate for recycling by the vehicle management office. Photography is the final step of the inspection, with photos used to compare any changes in the vehicle's appearance and for the new vehicle license. Simply follow the staff's instructions. Invoice issuance typically involves issuing a second-hand vehicle transaction invoice. Vehicle ownership transfer involves a change in ownership. Unless it's a change between co-owners of shared property, it is considered a transaction change, requiring a second-hand vehicle transaction invoice to prove the vehicle was acquired through a sale. Changing the vehicle owner, selecting a number, installing the license plate, obtaining the updated registration certificate, and a new vehicle license are essentially the steps for re-registering the vehicle under the new owner. This process is the same as registering a new vehicle: selecting a number, installing the license plate, and receiving the motor vehicle registration certificate and license. Once you receive the updated motor vehicle registration certificate and the new motor vehicle license, and after installing the license plate, the vehicle transfer process is complete, and the new owner becomes the legal owner. Note that the motor vehicle registration certificate is not reissued; instead, the change of ownership is recorded on the content page of the existing certificate, indicating the new owner. At this point, the vehicle transfer process is fully completed.
