Navigating the Paperwork: Documents You Need for Buying a Used Car in Sharjah
December 27, 2024
Investing in a used car in Sharjah is a cost-effective and financially prudent choice. However, handling the documentation and paperwork can be intimidating due to the number of documents that must be submitted to get a used car transferred to your name. Much like in other parts of the UAE, in Sharjah too you must ensure all the documents are in order for a smooth and legally binding transaction. We attempt to make the process easier with our comprehensive guide that will help you gather together the paperwork required to purchase a used car in Sharjah.
Document compilation and transfer process
Get the necessary documents ready
For a successful pre-owned car transfer in Sharjah, you need to first gather together the required documents that you will have to submit when applying for transferring ownership of a used car. Before submitting the documents, ensure you consult with the relevant authorities regarding the document copies that must be submitted.
Seller’s Documentation
Ensure the seller provides all necessary documents:
- Original registration card (Mulkiya) of the car that confirms its registration status.
- Original passport with residence visa of the present owner
- Emirates ID of the car’s current owner
- Service History and Maintenance Records: These documents can offer insight into the car’s upkeep.
- Original insurance documents for the car are mandatory
- Original bill of sale
Buyer’s Documentation
As a buyer, you need to have the following documents ready:
- Your original Emirates ID
- Your original passport accompanied by your residence visa
- Original driving license to prove you are legally permitted to drive in the UAE.
- Two passport-sized photographs
No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Bank
If the car is financed, the seller needs to provide a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the bank. This is a confirmation from the bank stating that it has no objection to transferring the car ownership.
Sale Agreement
Draft a sale agreement with the present owner/seller that includes:
- The car’s make, model, and year
- VIN and registration number
- Agreed sale price
- Date of sale
- The seller’s and the purchaser’s signatures
This document is a formal agreement of the sale terms and conditions.
Transfer process
The process of transferring ownership of a used car in Sharjah can be done from the comfort of your home due to the facility of online transfer from the Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) online platform
Offline transfers can also be done at a Tasjeel center. This is a center approved by the government for car testing and registration. Both buyer and seller must be present with the relevant documents. The process involves
Paying the transfer fees
To successfully transfer the ownership of a used car in Sharjah, you must pay the requisite transfer fees charged separately for the transfer certificate and for the new passing certificate
Vehicle Insurance
You must have valid insurance coverage before you can drive away in your pre-owned car in Sharjah. Compare different insurance providers to get the best deal that suits your needs.
Obtain your new registration certificate
Fill in the necessary forms at the Tasjeel Center to transfer ownership of the used car and submit all the necessary documents specified above. Generally, the entire process of transferring ownership will take around 10 to 15 minutes at the Tasjeel Center.
Completing the necessary forms and submitting all required documents
Once you complete all the formalities at the Tasjeel Center, you will be provided with a new registration certificate, called Mulkiya, in your name. This concludes the transfer process and you will get the legal title to the ownership of the used car. Keep all documents safe, including the sale agreement, as they serve as proof of ownershi
Navigating the paperwork for buying a second hand car in Sharjah can seem overwhelming, but with proper preparation and understanding, the process becomes straightforward. Ensure all documents are verified and completed accurately to avoid any legal issues down the road. By following these steps, you can enjoy a smooth and successful car-buying experience in Sharjah.
