sa vehicle transfer

In SA, transferring a vehicle is as thrilling as a queue at the servo: the buyer applies to transfer the rego via mySAGOV within 14 days, and the seller lodges a Notice of Disposal straight away.

Expect to pay a transfer fee and stamp duty based on the purchase price or market value (whichever’s higher), plus any outstanding rego.

CTP insurance goes with the registration, so no separate green slip faffing, and there’s no routine roadworthy required in SA—though defects or unpaid fines can derail things faster than a flat battery.

Have the VIN, rego number, odometer reading and both parties’ details ready; do it online unless fluorescent-lit queues are your hobby.
