What procedures are required to transfer vehicle files to another location?

Need the vehicle owner to issue a Notice of Entrusted Inspection at the original registration vehicle management office. To issue the Notice of Entrusted Inspection, the owner needs to provide their ID card, vehicle license, vehicle insurance documents, original and photocopy of the vehicle and vessel tax, and an application for out-of-town annual inspection. Related information: 1. File transfer and ownership change: When purchasing a second-hand vehicle with an out-of-town license plate and wanting to register the vehicle locally, a file transfer and ownership change is required. The ownership change only alters the identity of the owner, while the file transfer involves extracting the vehicle files from location A and bringing them to location B for registration. 2. Precautions: When relocating to another area, it is advisable to consult the vehicle management office at the destination in advance to clarify the name of the office. Registration in another location requires compulsory vehicle insurance, so do not cancel the vehicle insurance before obtaining the license plate in the new location. Only after the vehicle is registered should you return to cancel the commercial insurance and compulsory insurance.

I just helped a friend transfer the vehicle registration from Shandong to Jiangsu, and found that the key is to prepare five things: the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's ID card, the vehicle registration certificate (green book), the valid compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate (now some places have digitized it). The most troublesome part is the vehicle file, which can only be obtained in a sealed file bag after the vehicle inspection at the vehicle management office of the original registration location. My friend had to wait for three working days. After the transfer, there is a temporary license plate with a validity period, so make sure to complete the registration at the destination before the temporary plate expires. Pay special attention to the standards of the destination city, as some cities only accept China VI vehicles. If you find out only after arriving, the transfer will be rejected.

Our window frequently handles vehicle file transfer procedures. The first step is to clear any traffic violations and mortgage status of the vehicle. Bring the green vehicle registration book and ID card to the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered, fill out the "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form", and queue for vehicle inspection. The staff will verify the VIN and engine number. If there are no modification issues with the vehicle, you can obtain the sealed file by paying a nominal fee of about ten yuan. It's recommended to make a rubbing of the VIN as backup, as some cities have strict inspections. Never open the sealed file bag yourself! I've seen cases where someone opened it thinking they needed to photocopy documents, only to have the file rejected by the receiving office, resulting in wasted effort to redo the transfer process.
