Transferring vehicle ownership to the Municipality is a crucial step when you sell or purchase a vehicle. It ensures that the legal responsibilities and liabilities associated with the vehicle are transferred to the new owner, relieving the previous owner of any future obligations. Additionally, it helps to maintain accurate records and prevent any fraudulent activities related to the vehicle’s ownership.

Consequently, this can result in unnecessary legal hassles and liabilities for the previous owner. To avoid such complications, it is essential to complete the ownership transfer promptly after selling or purchasing a vehicle.

Remember, completing the vehicle ownership transfer protects the interests of both the buyer and the seller, ensuring a smooth and legal transition of ownership. It is crucial to follow the correct procedure and provide accurate information to the Municipality for a hassle-free experience. Stay responsible and enjoy your new ride!
