Hanoi Truck’s A-to-Z Guide to Car Title Transfers in Vietnam

“Buying a car is easy, transferring the title is hard” – This common saying among drivers has become a nightmare for many people considering buying or selling a used car. So why is the car title transfer process so complicated? How can the transfer of ownership be done quickly, conveniently, and cost-effectively? Let Hanoi Truck answer all your questions in this article!

Car Title Transfer Process: What You Need to Know

1. Why Transfer a Car Title?

Transferring a car title is a mandatory procedure when transferring ownership of a vehicle to another person. This not only protects the rights of the buyer and seller but also helps authorities manage vehicles effectively.

Imagine: You buy a used Hyundai HD120S truck from an acquaintance in Long Bien District, Hanoi, but don’t transfer the title. A few months later, the previous owner violates traffic laws, and you will be held jointly responsible because the car is still in their name. Or worse, if the previous owner commits fraud, you could lose your vehicle entirely.

• Proof of Vehicle Origin: If the vehicle is purchased from a dealer, you need to provide a VAT invoice.
• Other Documents: ID card of the person handling the procedure (if authorized), marriage certificate (if the parties are married), etc.
