Show the buyer your ID and the car's documents Recomendado
The Government advises buyers to check that the name on the registration certificate (prometna dozvola) matches the seller's ID card, that the chassis number and year match the documents, and to check for encumbrances on the vehicle through FINA. Expect a careful buyer to ask for all of this.

Agree on the insurance policy Requerido por ley Vendedor y comprador
If the car has a valid registration certificate, the new owner may use the previous owner's compulsory motor liability policy until it expires, but only if the seller assigns the rights and obligations of the policy to the buyer; otherwise the buyer must take out a new policy. The policy must be presented in writing for the change of ownership.

Buyer registers the change at a technical inspection station Requerido por ley Comprador
The station in the registration area of the new owner's residence is competent (another station can do it, with up to 30 days for plates of the owner's area). The buyer brings proof of ownership, the registration certificate and vehicle booklet, proof of roadworthiness, proof of paid obligations and an ID card or passport. The procedure ends when the new owner is entered in the register and the registration certificate is validated.

Buyer pays the administrative fee on used-car acquisition Requerido por ley Comprador
When registering a used car in the new owner's name, the acquirer pays an administrative fee (upravna pristojba) if no VAT was paid on the sale, calculated by engine power in kW and the car's age; it is not charged if it is 1.99 EUR or less. The annual road motor vehicle tax is not paid again by the new owner if it was already assessed to the previous owner that year.
Depends on kW and age; not charged if ≤ 1.99 EUR
