You’ve Bought a Used Car: What’s Next?
As the owner of a new ‘used car’, you’re obligated by law to register it with the Ministry of Transportation within 6 days of the sale. The following is a step-by-step guide of the used car registration process:
1. Visit a Vehicle Licensing Issuing Office, bringing your Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP) and vehicle permit with your completed Application for Transfer.
2. You’ll be required to pay retail sales tax during the transfer. The used car retail sales tax is based on the purchase price, wholesale value, or greater of the two.
3. Licensing fees for plates and permit must also be paid for at this time.
4. If you plan on putting plates on the car, proof of insurance must be shown.
5. If the vehicle is to be plated and operated on the roads, you’ll be required to get a Safety Standards Certificate.
6. For used cars that are registered, plated and in the Drive Clean Program, you must show the vehicle emissions report.
7. If you are registering a plate or vehicle with the Ministry of Transportation for the first time, you must show proof of identity i.e. birth certificate and/or proof of age.
8. If registering plates that you currently own, bring the plate portion of your vehicle registration permit with you to the Vehicle Licence Issuing Office.
