What procedures are required for cross-region vehicle transfer?
2 Answers
Cross-region vehicle transfer procedures include: valid ID documents of both parties, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle license, vehicle qualification certificate, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, vehicle insurance policy, and vehicle purchase invoice, which can be used for vehicle transfer procedures. Cross-region vehicle transfer process: Consult the local vehicle registration requirements to ensure the vehicle can be received locally; bring the vehicle transfer documents (including ID cards of both parties, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle license, engine rubbing strip, and the buyer must have a local ID card or residence permit), drive the vehicle to the vehicle registration service station to complete the outbound transfer and file extraction; after the files arrive, drive the vehicle to complete the local registration procedures. Transfer is a mandatory procedure when purchasing a used car. Without transfer, the legal owner of the vehicle remains the previous owner. After transfer, the owner on the vehicle registration certificate will be changed to the current owner, and the vehicle management office will issue a new vehicle license. Documents required for cross-region vehicle transfer: Original owner's ID card; new owner's ID card; vehicle license/duplicate; purchase tax booklet; vehicle and vessel tax payment certificate; vehicle registration certificate; vehicle criminal inspection report; road maintenance fee receipt; insurance policy/card/invoice and other original materials.
I recently helped a friend with an inter-province vehicle transfer, and the process was actually simpler than expected. The most important thing is to check the emission standards of both regions in advance to avoid arriving only to find the transfer isn't possible. Prepare the vehicle registration certificate, driving license, original IDs of both parties, and if the buyer isn't a local resident, bring the residence permit. First, submit the files at the vehicle management office in the transfer-out location, and make sure not to open the sealed archive bag yourself! Then drive to the transfer-in location, bring the archive bag, quota proof, and compulsory traffic insurance policy for vehicle inspection. A special reminder: the compulsory insurance must be valid for the inspection, so verify it a week in advance. Finally, take the inspection report to queue for the transfer, and you can get the new license plates the same day—remember to attach the temporary plate to the car.
