Lost registration certificate part 3?
Is the part that is required when transferring the license plate and that you must keep at home.
All about the transfer certificate
Until June 1, 2004, there was a registration certificate part 3. This registration certificate was the proof of ownership of the car and the person in possession of it was therefore deemed to be the owner. Without part 3 registration certificate, you could not sell the vehicle. You therefore needed part 3 to be able to convert the registration certificate to the new owner at the post office.
The registration certificate part 3 has been called the transfer certificate since June 1, 2004. As of January 1, 2014, this has again been replaced by the registration code. This is the part needed when transferring the license plate and you must keep it at home.
