Sell your car in Venezuela

In Venezuela the sale is formalized in a notarized purchase document issued through SAREN, and ownership is then transferred at the INTT (Instituto Nacional de Transporte Terrestre), which issues the vehicle registration certificate in the buyer's name. Posting on MotorHangar is free and takes about three minutes; you don't need the paperwork to publish.

Step by step

  1. Release any retention of title Required by law

    If the vehicle has a reserva de dominio (retention of title by a lender), a release settlement (finiquito de liberación) is required for the transfer; the INTT has its own procedure to record the release.

  2. Sign the notarized purchase document Required by law Seller and buyer

    Seller and buyer sign a notarized compra-venta document issued by SAREN (the national registries and notaries service). Representatives need a notarized power of attorney.

  3. Get the police vehicle inspection and insurance Required by law Buyer

    The transfer requires a Constancia de Experticia Vehicular issued by the Policía Nacional Bolivariana (PNB) and a copy of a valid vehicle civil liability policy from an insurer registered with SUDEASEG.

  4. Pay and file the transfer with the INTT Required by law Buyer

    Log in to 'Mis Trámites' on the INTT site, go to Registro > Vehículo > Oficina, pay the fee, print the INTT form, and hand in the documents at the office of your choice.
