What Documents Do I Need To Sell My Car?

Before arranging collection, gather photo ID, the vehicle details and evidence that you are entitled to sell it. Tell the buyer whether the car is registered and whether it is being sold for use on the road or for dismantling.

Documents Required To Sell My Car

Registration and ownership are different

A registration record identifies the registered operator. It does not establish legal title by itself. Keep your purchase receipt or other evidence of ownership and ask the buyer what they need if a document is missing.

What should I keep from the sale?

Keep a copy of the signed receipt with the sale date, agreed price, vehicle details and the parties to the sale. Service records can be useful for valuation; they serve a different purpose from evidence of ownership.

Check the steps for your particular sale

If you are selling a registered vehicle, check which transfer and roadworthy requirements apply before handover. See Consumer Affairs Victoria’s guide to selling a car. For a collection arranged with A1 Car Buyers, confirm the documents to bring when booking.
