NOTE. The process presented is valid in all cases of vehicle acquisition, for example, in cases of sale, gift, etc. Also, for all vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, trailers, etc.
The process of declaring and registering a change of ownership of a car previously registered in Lithuania consists of the following stages:
At this stage, a purchase-sale contract is entered into. It is very important to make sure that the SDK has already been assigned to the car because it will not be possible to perform the other steps specified below without this code. This code is also recommended to be entered in the purchase-sale contract.
At this stage, the process takes place in the following order:
IMPORTANT. Both parties must confirm the acquisition and transfer. The buyer must do this within 5 days of the transaction and the seller within 5 days of the buyer providing his details.
At this stage, the new car owner must apply to "Regitra" with the newly generated SDK for its registration in order for a new car registration certificate and, if the applicant desires so, of vehicle registration plates to be issued. This can be done in a way convenient for the customer: online or at "Regitra" branch. The car registration procedure itself remains unchanged.
IMPORTANT:
Liudas sold the car to Rytis. On the next day after concluding the transaction, Rytis applied to "Regitra" and submitted an acquisition declaration online. Then, after having logged in to "Regitra" electronic system, Liudas confirmed the data provided by Rytis. After these actions were performed jointly within 5 working days, Rytis became the declared owner of the car and receive the unique SDK that has been assigned to the car. Rytis once again applied to Regitra with the new SDK and registered the car in his name.
