According to Article 24 of Circular No. 15/2014/TT-BCA of the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam, solutions to registering the title transfer for vehicles that have transfer their legal ownership to various persons are as follows:
1. The registration of title transfer that is carried out within a province
Where vehicle users’ certificate of ownership transfer is not available, the required documentation must include:
- A declaration of title transfer and vehicle relocation as well as a commitment on the compliance with laws to use legally registered vehicles of the legal owner whose permanent residence is certified by a Police Department of a commune where he/she is permanently residing.
- A proven documentation of vehicle registration tax according to statutory regulations.
- A certificate of vehicle registration.
Where vehicle users keep the ownership transfer documents of the person who legally undersigns the certificate of vehicle registration and end seller’s ownership transfer documentation, a proven documentation of the ownership transfer of those who legally undersign the vehicle registration certificate, and a proven documentation of the ownership transfer of those who are the end-sellers is additionally required.
2. The registration of title transfer and vehicle relocation in a different province
Similar to transferring ownership within a province, registering a vehicle transfer to a different province is also a straightforward process. The required documentation includes:
- 02 declarations of title transfer and vehicle relocation as well as a commitment on the compliance with laws to use legally registered vehicles of the legal owner whose permanent residence address is certified by a Police Department of a commune where he/she is permanently residing.
- A proven documentation of the ownership transfer of those who legally undersign the vehicle registration certificate, and a proven documentation of the ownership transfer of those who are the end-sellers.
- A certificate of license plate and vehicle registration.
3. The registration of vehicles that have been moved from different provinces
The required documentation includes: A declaration of vehicle registration; a declaration of title transfer and vehicle relocation and a written permit of title transfer and vehicle relocation as well as an original documentation included; a proven documentation of payment for vehicle registration tax according to statutory regulations.
Based on these documents, the vehicle registration agency will receive and send a notification to the registered owner, as well as publicly display it at the registration agency's headquarters. After 30 days, if there are no complaints or disputes, the registration agency will issue license plates and vehicle registration certificates to the current user.
