Where to Process Vehicle Ownership Transfer?
2 Answers
Vehicle ownership transfer registration must be conducted at the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered. The vehicle ownership transfer process is as follows: 1. Obtain the "Used Motor Vehicle Sales Contract" at the service window in the hall and fill it out. This contract is issued in triplicate: one copy for the buyer, one for the seller, and one for the industrial and commercial department. 2. Drive the vehicle directly to the inspection area for ownership transfer to undergo inspection, photography, VIN tracing, and license plate removal. Fill out the "Inspection Record Form." Once all procedures are completed, the vehicle can be driven back to the parking lot, and then proceed to the transfer hall to complete the formalities. 3. After returning to the transfer hall, take a number, queue up, and wait for your number to be called. The staff will verify that the vehicle has no outstanding violations before processing the ownership transfer. The "transfer fee" must be paid at this stage. 4. After payment, proceed to the "Transfer Acceptance" window to complete the relevant procedures. Before processing, you need to fill out the "Motor Vehicle Registration, Transfer, and Cancellation Form" and the "Motor Vehicle Inbound Registration Form." 5. After completing the "Transfer Acceptance," take the receipt to the payment window to pay the "transfer fee." Then, you can select a new license plate number and receive the new license plate, vehicle registration certificate, and certificate of title.
I just bought a used car and was really confused about the transfer process at first. A friend told me I needed to go to the local DMV, so I went directly to the district vehicle management office branch. Remember to bring the seller’s original ID card, a copy of my ID, the vehicle registration booklet, and the sales contract signed by both parties. The fee was just over 100 yuan. The process involved queuing for a number, filling out forms, and paying the fee. The staff also did a quick inspection of the car’s condition, and it was all done in less than two hours. Newbies don’t need to panic—just check the address and required documents on the official WeChat public account beforehand. Going on a weekday morning means fewer people, so you won’t waste time. After the transfer, don’t forget to update the insurance, or you might run into trouble on the road. The whole process went smoothly—the key is to prepare everything properly and not miss anything. Asking experienced friends for advice will give you more confidence.
