We file with the competent Transport Authority, track progress, and deliver the new registration/documents to the beneficiary.

Frequently asked questions

Can it be done without physical presence?

In many cases it can be done via authorization/power of attorney. We will guide you through the required documents.

What if there are multiple heirs?

Co-ownership can be set up or the vehicle can be sold with everyone’s consent. We’ll recommend the right solution for your case.

The vehicle is immobilized?

We handle the necessary steps in parallel (e.g., lifting/placing immobilization) so the transfer completes smoothly.
