Get notarised consent if the car is leased, co-owned or sold with retention of title Recommended

A vehicle under a leasing or rental contract, or sold with retention of ownership, can be registered in the user's name only with the owner's written consent certified by a notary. A car owned by two or more people is registered in the name of one of them on the basis of a notarised written agreement.
