Question 342 in the bank

Who is legally responsible for the registration of a change of ownership?

  1. The seller only.
  2. Correct answer: The registered vehicle owner and the buyer of the vehicle.
  3. The buyer of the vehicle only.
  4. The owner of the vehicle testing facility.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The registered vehicle owner and the buyer of the vehicle.

The law makes both parties to the sale responsible for registering the change of ownership: the registered owner of the vehicle and the buyer. Until the change is registered at the Licensing Office, the seller is still registered as the owner and may be held liable for the vehicle's fines and debts. So it is wrong to place the duty on one party only, and the law does not place it on the owner of the testing facility.
