4. Remove your licence plates Requerido por ley

   In most provinces plates stay with the owner, not the vehicle: Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Manitoba sellers keep or return their plates. They can usually be moved to your next vehicle or returned.

Reglas que cambian por región

Ontario

The seller must give the buyer a Used Vehicle Information Package, a bill of sale, the signed Application for Transfer on the back of the ownership permit, and a Safety Standards Certificate if one is required. You keep your licence plates and the plate portion of the permit, and can claim a refund for full months left on stickers. The buyer registers within 6 days and generally pays 13% retail sales tax on the greater of the price or the wholesale value. Fuente

British Columbia

Complete the four-page Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T) with original signatures and give the buyer the signed registration (APV250) after you are paid. Remove your plates (they remain ICBC property) and cancel or transfer your insurance. The buyer must register at an Autoplan broker within 10 days and pays the taxes; ICBC strongly recommends going to the broker together. Fuente

Alberta

Complete a standard bill of sale, which gathers the seller information the new owner needs to license and register the vehicle. Buyers are advised to get a vehicle information report and a personal property lien search on the VIN from a registry agent, and to register at a registry agent as soon as possible. Fuente

Saskatchewan

SGI provides a Bill of Sale/Letter of Gift form so the new owner has enough information to license and register the vehicle. Buyers can check liens through the Personal Property Registry (Information Services Corporation) using the VIN. Fuente

Manitoba

Fill in the date and odometer reading and sign the Transfer of Ownership Document on the registration card; the buyer also signs and presents it to re-register. A valid Certificate of Inspection is required to register the vehicle, so give the buyer yours or tell them they will need one. Fuente

Quebec

Both the seller and the buyer must be present at an SAAQ service outlet (or use a proxy) to transfer ownership and registration. Passenger vehicles under 25 years old registered in one name, with no unpaid fines, can instead be transferred online through SAAQclic, where both parties need an account; don't let the buyer leave until they accept the transfer. Fuente

Nova Scotia

Sign the back of the Certificate of Registration, give the buyer Part 1 of the Transfer of Title, and return the signed notice of sale to the Registry of Motor Vehicles right away. Remove your plates (move them to another vehicle or return them for a refund). The buyer has 30 days to register and pays 14% Nova Scotia sales tax on the higher of the price or the Red Book value. Fuente

Newfoundland and Labrador

Use the bill of sale on the back of the Vehicle Registration Document, signed by every registered owner; if the price is below the Canadian Red Book wholesale value, both parties sign a witnessed affidavit. Notify the Registrar of Motor Vehicles within 10 days with a notice of sale (online via MyGovNL for buyers with an NL licence), and the buyer must transfer within 10 days. Fuente

Northwest Territories

The seller provides either the registration certificate with the buyer and seller sections completed or a fully executed bill of sale. Transfers are done in person at a driver and vehicle office. Fuente

Nunavut

Seller and buyer complete the Motor Vehicle Bill of Sale (form A-116); blocks A and B must be filled in for it to be accepted for registration. The buyer presents it to Motor Vehicle services as proof of the change in ownership. Fuente

• Accept only cash or a bank draft, and verify a bank draft with the issuing bank before handing over the car and signed registration.
• Remove your plates before the buyer drives away: in most provinces they are tied to you, not the vehicle.
• Buyers should run a lien search on the VIN (e.g. Personal Property Registry, or the UVIP in Ontario) so no debt follows the car.
