To license a used car, the new owner needs to provide their ID card, the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate." Below are the relevant details about the procedures for used cars: Conditions for renaming a used car: The vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle license, and the ID cards of both the buyer and seller are required. If the vehicle belongs to a company, the company's code certificate and official seal are needed. Additionally, the vehicle must be within its annual inspection period and have no outstanding violations to complete the renaming and transfer process. The original owner must be present in person to proceed with the procedures. Used car transaction procedures: The required documents for a used car transaction include the vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle license, the purchase invoice, the insurance policy, and the ID cards of both parties involved in the transaction.
I remember the first used car I bought last year, and the registration process went quite smoothly. First, I went with the seller to the vehicle management office or service center, bringing my original ID card, the seller's transfer certificate, the original vehicle registration certificate, and the driving license. Before the transaction, we signed a sales contract to avoid disputes. The staff on-site verified the vehicle information, checked if the chassis number and engine number matched, and also inspected emissions and lights. The transfer fee was about 300 yuan, and the license plate fee was over 100 yuan. The whole process took about three hours, and making an appointment in advance could save time. I also bought new compulsory traffic insurance on the spot, which was convenient as there was a dedicated window. The key is not to miss any documents; otherwise, you might have to make another trip. When buying the car, I checked the tires to ensure it was safe to drive.
