Where to Process Vehicle Ownership Transfer?
2 Answers
Vehicle ownership transfer registration must be completed at the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered. Vehicle ownership transfer refers to changing the name of the vehicle's owner. To process the transfer, both parties involved must apply together at the vehicle management office in the city where the vehicle is registered; ownership transfer cannot be processed in a different location. The required documents for vehicle ownership transfer are as follows: 1. Original vehicle license. 2. Original vehicle registration certificate. 3. Original supplementary vehicle registration form (obtained from the vehicle management office where the vehicle was originally registered). 4. Proof of vehicle purchase tax payment. 5. Identification documents of both buyer and seller; a residence permit is required for non-local residents. 6. Used vehicle sales contract. 7. If either party is an organization, the original organization code certificate and official seal are required.
For car ownership transfer, going directly to the DMV is the safest option. Bring both parties' ID cards, the vehicle registration certificate, the driving license, the original purchase invoice, and the compulsory insurance policy. Remember to clear all traffic violations before the transfer. It's best to sign a written agreement beforehand, clearly stating the vehicle details, price, and division of responsibilities to avoid disputes later. If transferring between friends, it's advisable to arrive early in the morning to queue at the DMV, as it's often crowded. Don't forget that both parties must be present for photos and signatures, or the trip will be in vain if any procedures are missing. The transfer fee is usually a few hundred yuan, depending on the vehicle model and region.
