When buying or selling a vehicle in Belgium, there are several important documents you need to ensure that the transaction is legal and correct. Here’s what you need to know about the required documents:
This is an essential document that proves you are the owner of the vehicle. After completing the purchase, the seller should provide you with this certificate, which contains detailed information about the vehicle and its previous owner. This document is needed to register the vehicle under your name.
To transfer ownership, you need to complete an ownership transfer form, which can be obtained from the vehicle registration office (DIV). This form is a key step in registering the vehicle in the buyer’s name and ensuring that the vehicle is legally transferred to you.
Before you can register the vehicle, you must have valid insurance for it. Insurance is a legal requirement in Belgium, and you must ensure the vehicle is fully insured for damages to passengers, property, and other individuals in case of an accident.
If the vehicle is used, it must have passed a valid technical inspection. This applies to vehicles older than 4 years. The seller must ensure that the vehicle has passed this inspection and provide the corresponding certificate.
As a seller, it is important to prepare a sales agreement that contains all the details of the transaction, including the price, sale date, and vehicle information. This document is important for keeping a record of the sale and giving the buyer the right to register the vehicle under their name.
For the registration of the vehicle, you may be required to provide an identification document (passport or ID card) and proof of payment for the transaction. This step is necessary to ensure that the transaction is legal and complete.
