CHANGING OWNERSHIP OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

You must register with the Transport Division any time you wish to buy, sell or change ownership of a motor vehicle. The registered owner and the new owner together must apply for a change of ownership within seven days of the sale or transfer. You must be at least 17 years old to change ownership of a vehicle.

Changing ownership of a motor vehicle and vehicle safety inspection can only be done at the Port of Spain, San Fernando and Tobago offices.

How do I change ownership?

The registered owner and the new owner must complete the transfer together and submit the following documents to the Transport Division office.

Complete Change of Ownership Form No. 11
Vehicle registration certificate and valid insurance certificate.
Valid national ID card or passport for both the registered and new owner.
Receipt of sale (where applicable).
Prescribed transfer tax and fee.
The application is processed on the same day.

How much does it cost?

The transfer fee is TT$10.00. The transfer taxes vary according to the age of the vehicle:

Less than 2 years TT$4,000.00
2-5 years TT$3,000.00
5-7 years TT$2,000.00
7-10 years TT$900.00
Over ten years TT$100.00

ooooooooooooooooh how great, too bad u posted this 4 days after i went tru this procedure Confused

oh an to ammend some parts:

1. You have to have two forms of ID
2. The current owner of the car must have his insurance, as well as, the new owner must have a cover letter (insurance for the day). That will cost you TT$35.00 (Check Motor and General Insurance opposite Jenny's Wok, for the Sando ppl. As for the town ppl, i not sure where u can get one)

Hey guys,

I need some help......

I bought a Primera last week, the series is PBS but manufacture date is August 1999.

On the certified copy, Roll On / Roll Off is not written but the car is a R-ON / R-OFF.

What would the transfer fees be like?

Thanx in advance for any assistance............

Are they goin to check from the manufacture date or the series (PBS) ?

MJ · Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2008 12:19 pm Post subject:

i think they check from manufactured date cuz i paid $910 to transfer my PBT SiR last year and its manufactured in 2000 so according to the info above they used the manufacture date which was 7 years as opposed to the registration date which would be 3 years...
hope this helps

^^^ yeah theyre still there.... its Bankers Insurance and a cover note is $35.00...
and btw if a claim is made while under the cover note, the full premium (usually around $1500) becomes payable before any settlement is made.
