Since January this year, new rules have been in place for car transfers. In particular, the registration of motor vehicles has undergone a major change. Now, the original and new owner must register the car together and cannot just deregister it.
Until last year, the sale and subsequent transfer of the vehicle was carried out in such a way that the seller deregistered the car at “his” office, sent the technical certificate to the new owner and the latter registered the car at “his” office, i.e. at his place of residence. In the meantime, the new owner had time to arrange a registration check and compulsory liability insurance.
Now the transfer takes place at the office of the seller’s domicile at one point, because that is where the documentation for the car is kept. Both seller and buyer must be present, or both can be represented by a power of attorney with a certified signature. This creates a problem, e.g. with the registration check, etc. A car that has been deregistered by the original owner but not yet registered by the new owner cannot be registered.

It is therefore common for one party to “authorise” the other to carry out the whole operation under a power of attorney, so that everything can be done conveniently and everyone does not have to bother going to the office. However, even this solution is not hassle-free. On the contrary, it can bring new difficulties if one of the parties (often the buyer) stops cooperating and fails to complete the re-registration.
The question is therefore whether the new regulation should not be further modified so that honest sellers are not harmed. Finally, it may be interesting to note that the amendment referred to in the introduction has not only brought about this revolution in registration, but also provides, for example, for the much talked-about so-called registration-on-demand mark. However, this part of the law will not become effective until 1 January 2016.
