Sell your car in Tunisia: steps, documents and where to post it free

Step by step

Get a certificate of the vehicle's administrative status Recommended

The ATTT offers an online 'certificat de situation administrative d'un véhicule', useful to show the buyer the car's administrative status before signing.

Sign the sale contract (optionally online) Required by law Seller and buyer

A document legally proving the transfer of ownership is required. Private individuals can conclude an electronic sale contract on the citizen portal: the seller creates the draft and payment details, the buyer approves and signs with their digital identity after checking the car, then the seller signs and the contract is sent to the ATTT.
