What to do

  • Check the seller’s right to transfer, registration document, VIN/history, technical inspection and current OC before payment.
  • Keep the purchase agreement or invoice: it supports registration and the separate tax/fee handoff.
  • Existing OC may pass with the vehicle, but its renewal rules differ—check the policy and avoid a coverage gap.
