Selling a car in Malaysia requires proper documentation to ensure a smooth and legal transaction. Whether you're selling privately, to a dealer, or through a platform like Mobee Cars Malaysia, having the right paperwork is essential. This guide covers the must-have documents to sell your car hassle-free.

1. Original Vehicle Registration Card (Geran or VOC)

The Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC) or Geran is the most important document when selling a car. It serves as proof of ownership and contains essential details about the vehicle. If you've misplaced your VOC, you can request a replacement from JPJ (Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan).

How to get a replacement?

Visit any JPJ branch with your IC (MyKad) and car details to request a duplicate for a small fee.

2. Copy of the Owner’s MyKad (NRIC) or Passport

A copy of the seller’s MyKad (NRIC) or passport is required to verify identity. If you are selling on behalf of someone else (such as a company or a family member), you may need an authorisation letter.

3. Loan Settlement Letter (If the Car is Still Financed)

If your car has an outstanding loan, you must first settle it with your bank. The bank will then issue a Loan Settlement Letter or Release Letter confirming that the car is free from financial obligations.

Steps to settle a car loan:

1. Contact your bank to request the outstanding loan amount.
2. Make the final payment and request a Loan Release Letter.
3. Obtain a JPJ Release Letter (e-Batal Hakmilik) from the bank so the car can be transferred.

4. PUSPAKOM Inspection Report (B5 & B7 Forms)

PUSPAKOM inspection is mandatory for private car sellers in Malaysia. The buyer cannot transfer ownership unless the car passes the B5 mandatory inspection. If selling to a used car dealer, they might handle this for you.

How to get a PUSPAKOM report?

1. Book an appointment at PUSPAKOM official website
2. Bring your car for inspection
3. Pay the inspection fee (RM30 for B5, RM60 for B7)
4. Receive the B5 Inspection Report

5. Insurance Policy (For Ownership Transfer)

When transferring ownership, the buyer must have an active insurance policy under their name. The seller needs to cancel their existing insurance to avoid unnecessary charges.

What to do?

1. Contact your insurer to cancel your policy
2. Provide a Letter of Cancellation if required
3. Get a refund for the remaining insurance period (if applicable)

6. JPJ Transfer of Ownership Form (JPJ K3)

This form is required for the official transfer of ownership. It must be completed and signed by both the seller and buyer at any JPJ branch.

Steps for ownership transfer:

1. Buyer purchases new insurance policy.
2. Seller and buyer visit JPJ together.
3. Complete JPJ K3 form and submit with required documents.
4. Pay the processing fee (RM100 - RM300, depending on vehicle type).
5. Receive confirmation of ownership transfer.

7. Sales Agreement (Optional but Recommended)

For private car sales, it’s wise to have a sales agreement signed by both parties to protect against disputes. This document should include:

1. Buyer & seller details
2. Agreed price
3. Payment terms
4. Vehicle details
