Recommended Posts

hi guys

 

i would like to transfer my wife's car to me. Car is fully paid up. Insurance and road tax due end of the month.

 

is there a one stop counter at LTA to do this? how long will the transfer take? can we both go down to LTA and get it done in a couple of hours? am I able to pay my road tax and insurance there as well?

 

i dont have a car in my name now. last time i owned a car was two years ago.

 

thanks!

LTA can do the transfer and road tax. Shouldn't take more than a couple of mins if there's no queue.

 

Insurance you will have get one yourself from the insurance companies.

You need to get insurance coverage for yourself first prior to dropping by LTA. Thereafter, bring along both your NRIC/license and your insurance certificate/cover note along to LTA. Transfer is immediate.

 

Do note that transferring ownership to avoid claims loading might be a point of contention for insurers to refute your claims in future.

I think you need to get insurance and present it during the the transfer at LTA.

You also need to pay a transfer fee depending on the car value you can check at LTA website

Refer to this http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onemotoring/en/lta_information_guidelines/buy___sell_a_used/Transfer_of_Vehicle.html

If you have downloaded and filled up the form the transfer can be done within 10mins if there is no queue

You mean you've been driving for 2 months and you just realised it today?

 

What does the dealer say?

First of all, make a police report.

 

If you do a search around, you'll realize that this dealer has a record of pulling such stunts and delaying transfer of ownership. Not the first time.

 

Good luck.
