You have decided to sell your vehicle and someone is interested, what now? After processing the corresponding documentation, you may have doubts about what happens with the insurance, or about how to transfer the ownership of your vehicle. If you are in this situation, don’t worry! From Viafirma we tell you how to make the change of ownership of a vehicle online, quickly and with all the security guarantees.
Conditions to be fulfilled in order to transfer the ownership of your vehicle
If you have read this far, it is because you are interested in knowing how to transfer ownership of your vehicle. However, before you begin, there are a few requirements you must meet if you wish to transfer ownership. Below, we detail them for you:
The vehicle must be registered and free of charges
When talking about burdens we refer to aspects such as taxes or penalties, and obligations, such as the documentation or the corresponding revisions of the car. It is also important to consider any leasing and leasing situations, as these must be resolved before proceeding with the transfer.
You can check that your vehicle is up to date by requesting a reduced report through the DGT. The operation is similar to that of a traffic light: if everything is in order and the transfer can be made, a green signal will appear; on the other hand, if there is any reason not to accept it, the signal will be orange or red.
Justification of payment, exemption or not subject to transfer tax (ITP)
The second requirement is linked to the justification of the payment, exemption or non subjection of the ITP, that is to say, of the Tax of Patrimonial Transmissions. The way to justify it is by means of the presentation of the models 620 or 621, or through the contribution of the invoice in the case of businessmen exercising their activity.
If you wish to consult this information in more detail, we recommend that you go to the official web page of the Dirección General de Tráfico:
Does the DGT allow the transfer of ownership of vehicles online?
Yes, the Dirección General de Tráfico allows the transfer of ownership of vehicles online. It is a simple and fast procedure, which is why many citizens choose it as their favorite way. However, it is also possible to carry out this procedure in person at one of the DGT offices or Headquarters.
Steps to be followed during the procedure
In the case of choosing the digital means to make the transfer of ownership, you must complete a form on the DGT’s own website under the name ‘Transfer or change of ownership of a vehicle’. The process must be done by the buyer within a maximum period of 30 days from the signing of the contract, and must indicate:
- If the new owner is a private individual, company or vehicle purchase and sale company.
- Special cases: donation, death or specific characteristics of the vehicle.
Once filled in and in order to finalize the procedure, the service must be accessed by authentication, choosing between the digital certificate, electronic ID or your cl@ve credentials. The next steps will be to pay the corresponding fee and attach the document proving the payment of the Transfer Tax.
After reviewing everything, if it is in order, the new vehicle documentation will be sent to the indicated address.
