If you sell your vehicle, are you required to notify the Traffic Department (Jefatura de Tráfico) of the sale?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is mandatory. The owner selling the vehicle (seller) must notify the Provincial Traffic Department of the transfer within a maximum period of 10 days from the transfer. This notification must include the details and address of the new owner (buyer). This procedure is crucial to formally 'notify the sale' and release oneself from liabilities (such as fines or taxes) arising after the handover. This should not be confused with the buyer's obligation, who has 30 days to request the transfer and renew the Registration Certificate.
