When is the vehicle certificate issued when buying a car?

Normally, the vehicle certificate is handed over to the owner upon vehicle delivery. Below are specific details about the vehicle certificate when purchasing a car: 1. Vehicle Certificate: The vehicle certificate is an indispensable document when taking delivery of the car. Without it, the car cannot be registered. Some 4S stores may mortgage the vehicle certificate to the bank. Only after the consumer takes delivery of the car will the 4S store repay the bank and then provide the certificate to the owner. This is also the reason why many 4S stores cannot issue the certificate promptly. 2. Documents required when taking delivery from a 4S store: Vehicle certificate, purchase invoice, vehicle conformity certificate, various maintenance and warranty manuals (three-guarantee manual, maintenance manual, user manual).
As someone who frequently helps friends with car purchases, I can tell you that the vehicle certificate is typically provided by the dealer on the day of delivery. The reason is that the vehicle certificate is a crucial document for new car registration and licensing, and dealers are obligated to deliver all necessary paperwork along with the vehicle. If you don't receive it promptly, it might be because some 4S stores use the certificate as collateral with banks for working capital, which can cause a delay of a few days. However, under normal circumstances, it should be confirmed before pickup. Don't forget, the certificate affects subsequent transfers and safe driving. If it's not provided, you should immediately urge the salesperson or check the contract terms. Learning more about these details before buying a car can help you avoid many pitfalls. I always advise everyone to carefully verify all documents upon delivery.
