Mr. Ba, a resident of Ha Dong, had a beloved truck that had been his loyal companion for years. As age caught up with him, he decided to transfer ownership to his son in Hoang Mai.

However, contrary to his expectations, the process turned out to be surprisingly smooth, leading Mr. Ba to exclaim, “Transferring ownership was a piece of cake!” So, what was the secret to Mr. Ba’s seamless vehicle transfer? Let Hanoi Truck reveal the simple steps below!

Decoding the Truck Ownership Transfer Process

Step 1: Preparing the Necessary Documents

Just like people, vehicles need a complete set of documents for ownership transfer, including:

• Identification documents of both the seller and buyer (ID card/Citizen Identity Card, household registration book…).
• Original vehicle registration certificate.
• Proof of ownership transfer (sales contract, gift certificate…).
• Vehicle inspection report (if applicable).

Step 2: Submitting Documents and Fees

After gathering all the required documents, submit them to the Traffic Police Department – Provincial/City Police where you reside.

Note:

• Carefully review all documents before submission to avoid omissions and multiple trips.
• Vehicle transfer fees are calculated based on factors like vehicle type, year of manufacture, engine displacement…

Step 3: Vehicle Inspection and Document Receipt

After submitting the documents, you will be scheduled for a vehicle inspection. If the vehicle meets the standards, you will receive a document pick-up appointment.

Step 4: Receiving the New Vehicle Registration Certificate

After the specified period, return to the Traffic Police Department to receive the new vehicle registration certificate under your name.

Truck Ownership Transfer: Important Considerations

• Carefully review the sales contract and vehicle documents to avoid legal risks.
• Choose a reputable vehicle dealer.
• Consider purchasing Castrol coolant for optimal engine performance.
• Research Korean auto parts if you plan on replacing any components.

Spirituality and Vehicles: Should You “Cleanse” Your Truck After Transfer?

Vietnamese culture places significant importance on spirituality. Many believe that after purchasing a vehicle, especially a used one, it should be cleansed to ward off bad luck and ensure safe travels. While lacking scientific evidence, this practice remains a valued cultural tradition.

Transferring truck ownership is no longer a daunting task if you understand the process and procedures. Be a smart and careful vehicle owner to ensure a smooth and successful transfer.
