Vehicle TRANSFER FEES in Trinidad & Tobago

Well with the 6 weeks I had to wait; when I spoke to some one there; mind you I actually got an answer on the phone; the guy said that the reason that it takes that long is because they have to do a trace on the vehicle. If the vehicle was sold with in the last 6 months to a year before you bought it it would have only taken 1 day because everything would have been available.

All the files in POS. If done from Sando I guess it has to go there and we know how these things can gos so hence the 6 weeks I am guessing.

went to transfer a vehicle on Monday, made up my mind to spend the day there but at least I would get through. Only to be informed that I would only be able to have vehicle inpected and to submit documents to the clerk, and that I would have to come back next week to get back my documents and to pay the fee. So you know that this means that I can't get insurance for the vehicle in my name until the transfer is completed. Oh I heard that all the their records were taken down to tetron, so all checks have to be conducted down there.

yes this is true...but its all a ploy to do less work.

i sold my vehicle last week to a guy who new the transport commissioner, we submitted the transfer paper work and were told to come back the next day to pay and collect. So we went the next day only to be told "that aint ready yet come back tomorrow" well the guy called the Transport commissioner on his cell and in 40 minutes fee and taxes were paid and transaction complete.

The problem was the staff they are fcuking lazy..the same paper work that they say down tetron and taking days to transfer is right there on wrighston road but they choose to do on average about 10 transfers a day so they would have less work to do, this is what the commissioner explained to us and he cant do anything about it cuz he dont have the power to reprimand them in any way thats for CPO to do.

Its not 2 forms of ID required?
In Sept this year I was asked for two forms of ID.
Also, walk with cash becos no Linx available.

sweeks · Postby **sweeks** » December 19th, 2009, 8:04 pm

I've heard of some recent changes but need to confirm this before I post.

Do remember to apply for your certified copy when transferring ($20 fee) as this takes some time.

Bump........

MrSammy · Postby **MrSammy** » December 19th, 2009, 11:32 pm

I transfered recently with one form of id but you know how it goes in Trini, each person has their own individual experience.

And you do need to walk with CASH!!!!!!! imagine a dept that handles so much cash transactions does not have linx option for payment.

does anyone know if the transfer fees changed for motorbikes?

wngrdr · Postby **wngrdr** » January 4th, 2010, 1:43 pm

they say its a new Canadian company that is taking over Licensing in a bid to make it efficient.

anyway, i went to transfer my vehicle. First i went with the guy i bought it from. filled out the yellow transfer of ownership form. went over to where they were inspecting. they just made me pop the bonnet, checked the chassis # then told me go inside and wait for the car number to be called. I waited probably a little over half hour, then was called up, me and seller had to show two forms of i.d, receipt for sale of vehicle, also proof of insurance (insurance receipt). Now if u do not have insurance go over to bankers by JohnD and take one out for a day for $53.00. i wud suggest that whoever u buying the car from do not cancel the insurance on the car until they make sure u have gotten at least the chit u get wen u pay so u can get ur own insurance. well they got all their documents and then told me to come back the next week to pay. sooo anyways, my car was manufactured in 2000 so i checked it to be 9 yrs old. i went with my $1350.00 only to reach up to cashier for them to tell me $3000.00 cos the car was first reg'd in 2004 (5 yrs ago) !! :shock:

i didnt have the money on me, so i told them i will have to come back. They said i must return within 7 days or else pay a $200. penalty. welll i scraped up the extra $1600. and went today and got that sorted out. paid and they gave me the chit but no certified copy. so i'm like "where is the certified copy?" and cashier said "oh, well u need to apply for that separately

steups. anyways, i filled out the stupid certified copy request form, paid their $20.00 and i have to return again next week to collect that. hrmmphhh :puppydogeyes:

Wildcard26 · Postby **Wildcard26** » January 4th, 2010, 6:36 pm

Yeah, I got that today when I went Sando but I didn't get anything about any penalty. Probably because my documents was inside. They told me I have to wait a 6 weeks even after I apply for the Cert. Copy. Geez an Ages!

my lord.. so much stress to transfer a vehicle now? anyways, I'm due to transfer my one to a buyer next week, as well as have one transferred to me, i'll let you all know how that goes..

shaneelal · Postby **shaneelal** » January 8th, 2010, 8:55 pm

Does anyone know when the computerization of the license office is expected to be completed? I may need to transfer a vehicle in a few months, hopefully the new process can be completed under two days with the new owner obtaining the Certified Copy in his/her name.

I got two quick questions

If the person im buying the car from only has the chit that you get from licence office, is it possible for the transfer to be completed on my name if he has that only ??

And would it be possible for me to take out motor insurance once that transfer has been complete even though I wont have the certified copy as yet ?? thanks

Yes it is possible to transfer and get insurance with the transfer chit only.Most people realise how long it takes to get an updated certify copy so the use the chit including Licence office themselves.
