Vehicle transfer in Paysandú

Requirements

The transfer page asks for:

• The original DIV (registration card), or the police report of loss or theft.
• The valid SOA (compulsory motor insurance), original and photocopy.
• The vehicle tax up to date, with no unpaid traffic fines, no payment plans with overdue instalments and no debts with other intendencias.
• The vehicle for the technical inspection, or the certificate of an inspection passed with another intendencia, authorised experts or technical vehicle inspection companies.
• For registrable vehicles, the title deed registered in the new owner’s name, or the current and new municipal owners signing, or their representatives with a power of attorney. For motorcycles, tricycles, quad bikes, trailers and towed vehicles, both municipal owners or their representatives sign. A sale between them with signatures certified by a notary is also accepted.
• A valid ID card for everyone who signs.
• If you act with a power of attorney, certified by a notary, less than 180 days old.
• For registrable vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, the certificate of no liens or seizures, no more than 24 hours old. It isn’t required for motorcycles or for trailers under 10,000 kg.
• If one party is a company, a notarial certificate less than 180 days old with its name, RUT and who signs, and a photocopy of the signer’s ID card.

If the owner died, it’s transferred to the heirs with the certificate of the probate results or, without probate, with a notarial certificate of presumed sole heirs. A notarial certificate of possession for more than a year is also accepted.

How it’s done

1. Book on the web booking: Dirección de Tránsito, Automotores booking, Trámites de Vehículos.
2. On the booked day you go to the Dirección de Tránsito with the requirements. At the municipalities and juntas locales no appointment is needed.
3. They process the documents, inspect the vehicle and, if it passes, enable payment. With the receipt they give you the new DIV.

At a municipality or junta local they inspect the vehicle there and send the documents to the Dirección de Tránsito, which returns the finished procedure with the registration card for you to collect where you applied.
