Instructions for transferring motorbike ownership without the previous owner in 2024
People can transfer the ownership of a motorbike without needing 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: Carry out the withdrawal procedure
The person using the vehicle goes to the agency that manages the vehicle registration file to complete the revocation procedure. Then, fill out the revocation declaration form and license plate on the public service portal. Next, provide the online file code and submit the paper file along with the license plate 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 needing 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 buying and selling 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 wish to transfer the vehicle ownership will receive an appointment letter 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 using the vehicle.
