Transferring vehicle ownership can be intricate, particularly in scenarios involving auctions or the passing of the registered owner.

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has established clear procedures to facilitate these processes, ensuring legal compliance and clarity for all involved parties.

Transferring Ownership of Auctioned Vehicles When a vehicle is acquired through an auction-from entities such as financial institutions, the police, courts, or non-governmental organisations (NGOs)-the NTSA mandates a specific transfer process to ensure the new owner is legally recognised and the vehicle's records are appropriately updated.
