Vehicle Ownership Transfers Now Available on MyGovNL

Residents can now transfer ownership of a vehicle using MyGovNL.

The Highway Traffic Act requires vehicle owners to notify Motor Registration Division within 10 days of a change of ownership, whether the vehicle has been sold through a private sale or been gifted. Both parties can do this online with their free MyGovNL accounts, which can be easily created using a valid email address.

Within 24 hours after the current owner submits their change of ownership, the new owner will receive an email notification with a link to their MyGovNL account to complete the ownership transfer.

Ownership transfers can also be completed by mail or in person at a Motor Registration Division office or Government Service Centre.
