Book the used-vehicle inspection before the sale Requerido por ley
A car registered in Belgium that is being sold must pass a used-vehicle inspection (contrôle technique « occasion » / tweedehandskeuring) before it is registered in the new owner's name. Bring both parts of the registration certificate, the last inspection certificate, the certificate of conformity and the plate. The centre issues an inspection certificate, a used-vehicle report and the registration request, which are valid for 2 months. Not required when the car passes with the old plate between spouses, legal cohabitants or from parent to child. In Flanders this inspection ends for sales within Belgium from 1 January 2027.
Flanders: €74.40 (full inspection) or €52.10 (visual inspection); other regions set by the inspection bodies

Get a Car-Pass for the buyer Requerido por ley
The seller is legally required to give the buyer a valid Car-Pass (the mileage-history record), also when the seller is a private individual; it may not be more than two months old. It is created at the inspection centre. If the buyer does not receive it, they can ask a court to cancel the sale and get their money back.
€11.10 incl. VAT (free if it shows fewer than 4 mileage readings)
Car-Pass – FAQ -
Sign a sales contract in two copies Recomendado Vendedor y comprador
Write a sales contract with both parties' names and addresses, the vehicle details and its first-registration date. Each party keeps one copy; the buyer's copy is proof of ownership. No tax stamps are needed and a private seller does not charge VAT.

Hand over the documents and keep your number plate Requerido por ley
Give the buyer the registration certificate, the registration request stamped by the inspection centre, the inspection certificate, the used-vehicle report, the certificate of conformity and the Car-Pass. Remove your plate: it stays with you and can be reused on your next vehicle of the same category.

Cancel the plate with the DIV if you are not reusing it Requerido por ley
If you sell without registering another vehicle, have the plate cancelled (radiation / schrapping) by the DIV. Since 1 August 2025 handing it in at a bpost office no longer cancels it immediately: post it to the DIV via bpost (no longer free) or drop it in an FPS Mobility collection box. Road tax stops from the month of cancellation; a posted plate must arrive and be cancelled before the end of the month to avoid that month's tax.

Buyer pays the regional registration tax Requerido por ley Comprador
After the DIV registration, the buyer receives a notice for the one-off registration tax (taxe de mise en circulation / belasting op de inverkeerstelling), which also applies to used cars. It is levied by the buyer's region and the amount depends on the vehicle.
