How do I transfer a vehicle?

If you are transferring ownership of your vehicle or have altered your vehicle, the owner MUST inform the Director within 14 days of such a change.

For transfers, please:

• Complete the prescribed Form (T.R. 6)
• Submit to the Director the signed certificate of registration (log book- under section C) or a Transfer of Ownership Form. Signatures must be done in the presence of a Notary Public, Justice of the Peace or a DVDL staff member.
• Ensure all outstanding licensing fees, if any, are paid. DVDL will not execute the transfer until all such fees are settled.
• Ensure that there is no bank lien registered against the vehicle. If the vehicle was financed by a bank or a lending institution, a lien would have been registered with the DVDL. To proceed with the transfer of ownership, you must first obtain a “Notice of Lien Removal” from the lender. Removing a lien will incur an additional fee of CI$25 and this document must be submitted with the transfer request. The cost of a transfer of a vehicle is $25.00.
