Instructions for transferring motorbike ownership without the previous owner in 2024
People can transfer the ownership of a motorbike without the previous owner, similar to the steps in the procedure for "transferring ownership of a motorbike that has been transferred to many organizations or individuals".

According to Article 31 of Circular 24/2023/TT-BCA, the steps to transfer motorbike ownership without the old owner are as follows:
Step 1: Recall procedures
The person using the vehicle goes to the agency that is managing the vehicle registration file to complete the revocation procedure. Then, declare the revocation declaration form, the vehicle registration number on the public service portal. Next, provide the online file code and submit the paper file with the vehicle registration number and vehicle registration.
After confirming the valid documents, the vehicle registration authority issues a certificate of registration and license plate revocation.
In case the agency managing the records and the agency registering the vehicle transfer are the same, the person using the vehicle does not have to carry out the revocation procedure. Instead, they only need to submit the vehicle registration certificate and license plate when carrying out the transfer procedure.
Step 2: Transfer motorbike ownership without the previous owner
The person using the vehicle must complete the vehicle registration transfer procedure at the vehicle registration office where he/she is permanently or temporarily residing. The commune-level police where he/she resides shall carry out the motorbike registration transfer. The district-level police where he/she resides shall carry out the car registration transfer.
Vehicle transfer documents include: Vehicle registration declaration (clearly stating the purchase and sale process and commitment, taking responsibility for the legal origin of the vehicle), registration fee documents, registration revocation certificate, vehicle license plate (with a copy of the engine number and chassis number with the seal of the vehicle registration agency).
Step 3:Those who need to transfer the vehicle name will receive an appointment paper within 30 days. The competent authority will verify the vehicle registration data.
Step 4: Receive vehicle registration results
After 30 days, if there is no dispute or complaint, the vehicle registration authority will issue a decision to impose a penalty for not completing the recall procedure and resolve the vehicle registration transfer for the person currently using the vehicle.
