FAQ: How do I change ownership of a vehicle?
Just bought or sold a car? We’ll take you through the quickest and easiest way to change ownership.

CHANGE OWNERSHIP OF A VEHICLE
As much as we’d like it to be, buying or selling a vehicle isn’t as simple as a handshake and an exchange of money. The paperwork needs to be order or you could face some unpleasant surprises a few months down the line.

First things first, there’s a strict 21-day timeline you need to adhere to, says the Gov.za website. Run over or let your documentation lapse, and the task becomes much more complicated and expensive.
Now let’s talk about the documents you will need:

1. A Notice of Change of Particulars of person or organisation (NCP) form.

2. The new owner must register the car in their name with the Notification of Change Ownership form (NCO), otherwise known as a change of ownership form.

3. If you are the person selling the vehicle you will need to complete the NCO form first and then submit it to the traffic department. The NCP must then be complete by the new owner.

4. There is a registration fee for the new owner to pay, but note, if this is not completed within 21 days there will be additional penalties.

5. The new owner will also pay the relevant license fee. This depends on the tare of the vehicle and the province you’re in.

6. If a vehicle is financed, the original title holder (seller) must register first and then the new owner must license the vehicle

WHAT ELSE WILL I NEED TO CHANGE OWNERSHIP?

Both the buyer and seller will need a copy of their identity (ID) document if South African citizens. Foreign citizens must bring both an original and certified copy of their ID issued by your country of origin and a temporary residence permit.

Both the buyer and seller must supply a proof of residential address e.g. utility account with their name on it. If you stay in an informal settlement, a letter with an official date stamp from the ward councilor confirming your residential address will suffice.

SO HOW’S THE DEAL DONE?
Once the seller has completed the NCO form and submitted it, the seller must hand over the registration certificate to the buyer/new owner.

The buyer must complete the Application for Registration and Licensing of Motor Vehicle form (RLV) for submission

The new owner/buyer must then submit the vehicle registration certificate to authorities. And also provide a mass measuring certificate if the vehicle’s tare (weight) was changed.

Even after the sale of the vehicle, the seller remains responsible for license fees and any fines obtained until it is registered in the new owners’ name. Make sure this is done to avoid any nasty surprises months down the line.

WHAT ABOUT A ROADWORTHY CERTIFICATE?
Good question. Depending on the state of the car this can be tricky. When you submit the forms at the registering authority you will need to submit an Application for Certification of Roadworthines

This is important. It is the responsibility of the BUYER to ensure that the vehicle is roadworthy, not the SELLER. A valid roadworthy certificate from the seller is only valid for 60 days. Thereafter, if the buyer drags his or her heels beyond the 60-day period, they will need to have the roadworthy done again.

Transgressing Cape Town motorists are warned that a newly approved by-law could see, among other things, cars being immediately impounded. According to the City of Cape Town’s Safety and Security Directorate spokesperson JP Smith, provincial government approved the amended Traffic by-law, giving local officials additional authority.

Smith says harsh action will be taken against illegal street racers and taxi operators who “show complete disregard for the safety of other road users”, as well as those who incorrectly display number-plates.

“Once finalized, our various enforcement services will receive further training on how to fully utilize all aspects of this new legislation. Affected communities who have long since been calling for improved enforcement can rest assured that such relief can be welcomed within the near future,” said Smith.
