Motor vehicle - report sale

If you sell your vehicle, you must inform the registration authority as soon as possible - this is done, for example, by means of a purchase agreement. You are still registered as the keeper with the registration authority after the sale. This applies until your vehicle is deregistered or transferred to another person. Only then do your obligations as keeper also end.

Important: As long as the vehicle has not been re-registered or deregistered, the previous vehicle owner is still subject to tax and insurance obligations!

Tip: Deregister your vehicle before selling it. This applies especially if you sell the vehicle abroad. This is the best way to protect yourself from the threat of having to continue paying the vehicle tax and any claims from your vehicle insurance.
