For those who are new to these Bureaucracy world of NTA/Registrar!!!

Below is the “legal” procedures that I have followed to transfer the ownership of my car from another owner onto my name when bought a second hand car

Requirements for this procedure

• Patience
• 1 Day off work
• A bag, which will be filled with tonnes of PAPER!
• Lots of Money!!

At the registrar Office, on their Billboards, they put a slogan “Lets work together towards a paperless world“, hopefully one day this gonna be a reality in Mauritius 🙂

Procedures to be followed when buying a car from someone else and transfer the horsepower of the vehicle in the buyer’s name:

Sale of Vehicle :

When buying/selling car you need this document to be printed thrice (3) and filled by both person: Deed of Sale (** NEED TO FILLED the 3 papers by pen — no photocopy)
All the naming and signature should be the same as in ID cards / Horsepower

1 document will be kept by the seller

2 documents will be kept by the buyer

Transfering The Horse Power in buyer’s name:

Get GAGE certificate (Issued in NTA offices)

Role of Seller:
either:-

Get the GAGE certificate at the NTA to be assured that the vehicle has no lien (e.g the vehicle is used as mortgaged / Duties on the car… )

Document required by the NTA (at any offices)

•  Deed of sale of seller
• HorsePower of the vehicle
• Original ID card

The NTA will issue the GAGE certificate if there is no lien. (Fee cost Rs50* – Subjected to change)

Or:

The seller can issue a GAGE sans deplacement  (a letter stating that he has sold the vehicle  to the Buyer  — Clearly mention name/ID Card Number and Address) along the the seller’s ORIGINAL ID card.

If the Buyer is getting the GAGE certificate at the NTA:
