How Do I Change My Car Rc From One Person to Another?

Changing the RC (Registration Certificate) of your car from one person to another is a process that requires a few steps. It is important to ensure that the transfer is done legally and that all paperwork is in order before you can take possession of the vehicle.

The first step in changing the RC from one person to another is to obtain a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the previous owner. This document will state that they have no objections to you taking over ownership of the car. It is important to note that an NOC must be obtained if you are buying a second-hand car or if you are transferring ownership of a vehicle that was gifted or inherited.

Once an NOC has been obtained, the next step is to go to your local RTO (Regional Transport Office). Here, you will need to submit an application for transfer of ownership along with all relevant documents such as the NOC, sales receipt, insurance papers and proof of identity. The RTO will then verify all documents and issue a new RC with your name on it after payment of applicable fees.

In some states, you may also need to get your car re-inspected before you can take over ownership. This involves getting an authorized garage or workshop to inspect your vehicle for any mechanical issues and submit a report accordingly. The RTO may require this report before they can issue a new RC in your name.

Additional documents may be required, depending on your state’s regulations; so it is best to check with your local RTO beforehand. Once all documents have been submitted, it typically takes around 30 days for the process of transferring ownership of a car from one person to another to be completed.

In conclusion, changing the RC from one person to another requires obtaining an NOC from the previous owner, submitting an application for transfer of ownership along with relevant documents at an RTO office and possibly getting the car re-inspected depending on where you live. Once all paperwork has been submitted and verified, it typically takes around 30 days for the process to be completed successfully.
