What to Do Without a Temporary Residence Permit When Buying a Used Car?

[OSteven]

Buying a used car without a temporary residence permit means you cannot complete the transfer of ownership. 1. Vehicle transfer requires a temporary residence permit valid for more than 6 months. For cross-regional transfers (vehicle file transfer), you must have either an ID card from the destination location or an original temporary residence permit valid for over 6 months. Without the original document, the transfer cannot proceed, as per the regulations of the vehicle management office. 2. The only solution is to first apply for a temporary residence permit and then proceed with the transfer. Below is additional information: 1. Completing the used car transfer legally ensures the transfer of vehicle ownership and guarantees the legality of the vehicle's origin, such as avoiding purchasing smuggled or stolen vehicles. 2. It clearly defines the responsibilities related to the vehicle between the buyer and seller, such as debt disputes and traffic violations, protecting the legal rights of both parties.
