How to transfer of vehicle ownership?
To better align with Singapore’s vision of being a Smart Nation, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will be doing away with Transactions Pins (TPINs) for the following LTA vehicle-related transactions: Transfer of Vehicle Ownership, Transfer of TCOE, Transfer of Rebate, and the Deregistration of Vehicle.
Previously, a TPIN was necessary to sell, deregister and transfer your vehicle. It was also needed to make changes to your vehicle’s Preferential Additional Registration Fee (PARF) or Certificate of Entitlement (COE) rebates.
Now, instead of the TPIN, vehicle owners and businesses will need to use their SingPass 2FA to confirm and complete these transactions.
In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you the process of completing vehicle transactions with this new SingPass 2FA system. Kindly note that the OTP for the 2FA system can either be generated through the OneKey Token or SMS via mobile phone.
Transfer of Vehicle Ownership
Seller (Vehicle Owner) Transfers Vehicle to Buyer (Next Owner)
- Seller to use the ‘Transfer Vehicle’ function on One Motoring (via SingPass) to initiate vehicle transfer to Buyer.
- Select Vehicle Details and enter the Buyer’s details (Name, ID number and mobile number).
- Upon submission, an SMS will be sent to the Seller to notify them of the transaction.The Seller can still cancel the transaction before the Buyer accepts the transfer.
- An SMS will also be sent to the Buyer to notify them of the transaction. The Buyer can then log into One Motoring to confirm or reject the vehicle transfer within the next 5 calendar days.
- If the vehicle transfer is successful, a confirmation SMS will be sent to both Seller and Buyer.
