Not long ago, I just helped a friend with the motorcycle ownership transfer process. In Beijing, the transfer procedures are usually handled at vehicle management sub-branches or used vehicle trading markets. For example, the Jingshun Vehicle Management Office is located in Houshayu, Shunyi District; the Jingchao Vehicle Management Office is in Wangsiying, Chaoyang District; and the Haidian Vehicle Management Office is on Northwest Wangdong Road—these are common processing locations. It’s best to make an appointment on the Traffic Management 12123 App before going, otherwise, you might have to wait in line for a long time. Remember to bring all required documents: original IDs of both the buyer and seller, the vehicle registration certificate, the driving license, and the purchase invoice or transfer ticket. The vehicle inspection is particularly crucial—ensure the exhaust or lights haven’t been modified, or it won’t pass the test. The whole process took about two to three hours, so it’s advisable to go on a weekday morning when it’s less crowded.

For motorcycle ownership transfer in Beijing, the vehicle management offices are the top choice, such as the Jingnan Branch (No. 8 Huangma Road, Daxing) and Jingbei Branch (Machikou, Changping). The Huaxiang Used Car Market also has transfer windows, which is more convenient. You must bring the original and photocopies of both parties' ID cards. If the original owner cannot come, a notarized power of attorney must be prepared in advance. The vehicle registration certificate and driving license are indispensable. If the purchase invoice is not preserved, a transfer invoice must be reissued. The transfer fee is about three to four hundred yuan, and both cash and card payments are accepted. It is recommended to handle any traffic violations first, otherwise, it will delay the process at the first step. Pay attention to the conditions for retaining the original license plate when selecting a number. The process for new energy motorcycles and fuel-powered vehicles is slightly different.

Haidian Northwest Wang Vehicle Management Office, Chaoyang Shenghua Inspection Yard, Fengtai Yuegezhuang Motor Vehicle Registration Station – all three places can handle motorcycle transfers. Going directly to the Vehicle Management Office is the safest option, and it's recommended to confirm the timing in advance by calling 12123. Both parties' ID cards are essential for the required materials, and don’t forget to bring the Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate (green book). The compulsory traffic insurance must be valid; otherwise, you’ll need to repurchase it. Nowadays, many locations can issue new driving licenses on the spot, completing the process in half an hour. Before the transfer, it’s best to check the emission standards, as some areas do not allow transfers for vehicles below China III standards. If the vehicle has been repainted, you must complete a change registration first. The whole process isn’t actually difficult, just make sure not to miss any required materials.
