Bought a used car but not registered yet, what is the registration procedure?

Vehicle registration procedures when the car has not been transferred

Giao thong Newspaper hotline received questions from readers wondering whether there is any difference in vehicle registration procedures when buying a used car but not yet transferring the ownership?

The registration procedures for unregistered cars are no different from the general regulations on motor vehicle registration.

Regarding this issue, Mr. Tran Quoc Hoan, Deputy Director in charge of Inspection Center 2903V ( Hanoi ) said that current regulations do not require car owners to bring their cars to the inspection center for inspection.

Therefore, the inspection center also does not verify whether the car has been transferred or not when inspecting the car, this does not affect the technical safety and environmental protection of the motor vehicle. Thus, the procedure for registering an untransferred car remains unchanged, still complying with the general regulations on motor vehicle registration.

Mr. Hoan added that for vehicles with periodic inspection, when taking the vehicle for inspection, the vehicle owner or driver needs two types of documents including: Vehicle registration (Original, original mortgage receipt at a credit institution, or vehicle registration appointment paper) and in the case of newly modified vehicles, the vehicle owner must submit the original vehicle inspection certificate.

For cars registered for the first time or exempted from registration for the first time, the owner or authorized person only needs to prepare the following documents: Vehicle registration certificate (Original or receipt of original mortgaged copy from credit institution or appointment paper for vehicle registration); Copy of Factory Quality Inspection Certificate of domestically manufactured and assembled vehicles (except for liquidated motor vehicles) to complete vehicle registration procedures.

In case of newly modified motor vehicles, the motor vehicle owner must submit the original copy of the modification inspection certificate.

Currently, commercial vehicles that meet quality inspection standards are affixed with an Inspection Sticker with a yellow background on top and a green background below. Meanwhile, non-commercial vehicles have a blue background on top and a green background below to distinguish the two types of vehicles mentioned above.

Car owners need to prepare all necessary documents and maintain the car before going for inspection to avoid wasting time.

When taking the car for inspection, what should the car owner pay attention to?

When going for car inspection, in addition to the inspection service fee, inspection certificate fee and inspection stamp fee, the car owner must also pay road maintenance fee.

Normally, to avoid wasting time, vehicle owners should pay road maintenance fees according to the vehicle inspection cycle. For example, a vehicle with less than 9 seats that is first inspected has a 36-month inspection cycle, so the vehicle owner should pay the 36-month road maintenance fee.

In addition, Mr. Hoan said that when going to register a car, the car owner (driver) should prepare all necessary documents for the registration to avoid wasting time. In addition, before going to register, the car owner should have the car serviced first, to avoid the situation where there are items that have not been repaired or maintained for a long time, leading to failure and having to go back to repair and re-register.

According to regulations, vehicle owners are responsible for maintaining the technical condition of their vehicles according to prescribed standards when participating in road traffic between two inspection periods.

According to inspection centers, currently, the technical errors that cause vehicles to "fail" inspection account for the highest rate in the braking and steering systems. In addition, car owners and drivers can proactively recognize and fix defects that can be seen with the naked eye such as tires (worn, torn), headlights, turn signals, wipers, seat belts, and glass.

In addition, car owners also need to look up fines to handle before taking the car to be inspected to avoid having to turn it around.

According to the Vietnam Register, vehicle quality inspection is a mandatory regulation for road motor vehicles on the road to ensure safety for the driver and other road users.
