Step by step
-
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.

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.

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.
