Agree what happens to the number plates Obrigatório por lei Vendedor e comprador
For a basic transfer, a declaration is needed stating whether the plates will be retained by the seller. If the vehicle has a 3rd plate, the buyer states whether it is also being bought: a written declaration for logbooks numbered with 'D', or the check box on the last page for logbooks starting with 'J' or 'K'. Transferring customised plates to a non-family member costs €466.
€466 only if customised plates go to a non-family member

Sign the logbook: seller, buyer and a witness Obrigatório por lei Vendedor e comprador
The vehicle's logbook (registration certificate) must be duly signed by the seller, the buyer and a witness. Requests where any of the three signatures is missing will not be considered; a logbook filled or signed incorrectly can be declared null with a declaration signed by all three, and the correct signatures then go on form VEH 50.

Check for a tax exemption on the vehicle Obrigatório por lei Vendedor e comprador
If the car was registered with a registration tax exemption, the tax may become payable on transfer: for special-needs exemptions it is due if the vehicle is under 10 years from first registration (unless MFIN approves transferring the exemption); for other exemptions it is due on Transport Malta's valuation.
