Reviewed on 23 October 2026
Requirements
The Intendencia’s page, updated on 31/05/2017, asks for:
- The vehicle’s registration card (libreta de propiedad).
- ID card and photocopies of everyone involved, or the owner’s power of attorney less than 180 days old, original and photocopy, or the title deed.
- If the new owner is a minor, both parents sign, with a photocopy of their marriage record book or the minor’s birth certificate, or the guardian, with their certificate, original and photocopy.
- The patente (vehicle tax) up to date.
- Insurance up to date, with the valid certificate showing the vehicle’s details.
How it’s done
- You go with the documents and they check them.
- The details are recorded and the amount is generated, which you pay at a payment network.
- Once the procedure is finished, you collect the registration card.
Cost
The page says $ 971 for the registration card, with 2017 values adjusted by the CPI. We didn’t find the current cost on an official page: ask at 1955, extension 150, or at [email protected].
