I went through the process of transferring a vehicle's registration last year, and it went quite smoothly. Here's my experience to share. Make sure to prepare copies of both parties' ID cards, the original vehicle registration certificate, the original and duplicate of the vehicle license, and a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy. Before heading to the local DMV, book an appointment online in advance to avoid long queues. The costs include transfer fees, vehicle and vessel tax, etc., usually totaling a few hundred yuan. When filling out the forms, clearly state the reason for the transfer. The staff will inspect the vehicle and verify the documents. If everything checks out, the file transfer can be completed in about half an hour. Remember to register the vehicle in the new location immediately after the transfer to avoid fines due to delays. Policies change frequently, so checking the local DMV website for updates is crucial. With all the necessary documents ready, the process shouldn't be too troublesome.
