Information which might help

• For a vehicle whose importer went into agreement with Customs and Head Legal department of URA for part payments,no transfer can be affected without completing the dues.
• In such a situation, there is usually an agreement duly signed by all concerned parties for the amount to be paid in installments and time period allowed.
• For vehicles with personalized number plates, the vehicle number plates are not transferable.
• The vehicle has to be re-registered and given new numbers and Number plates should be surrendered before a transfer is affected.
• For transfers from a minor, authority from the High Court judge is necessary.
• Where letters of administration exist, the transfer should first be made to the beneficiary.
