Step 2: After completing the procedures in Hanoi, the buyer will withdraw the vehicle documents from this office and submit them at the new location.
Step 3: Visit the authorized office in Bac Ninh, pay the registration tax at the treasury and bring the new owner to the registration office, submitting the following documents:
- Vehicle registration declaration
- Proof of prepaid tax
- Original vehicle documents as required
- Declaration of ownership transfer, vehicle relocation, and transfer voucher.
Step 4: Submit the documents and wait for notification to retrieve the new registration documents and obtain the new license plate.
