When do I have to report the change of ownership to the Swedish Transport Agency?

Selling a car can be a challenging process, but what often surprises car owners the most is that the sale doesn't stop when the money changes hands.

As a seller, you have an important responsibility to report a change of ownership to the Swedish Transport Agency. This is a critical step that must be taken within 10 days of the sale, and if it is not done, it can lead to unpleasant consequences both legally and financially.

It may seem like a complicated task, but to make the whole process easier for users, the Swedish Transport Agency offers an app, My Vehicles, which makes it possible to report a change of ownership digitally. By following a few simple steps, you can quickly and easily fill in all the necessary information and send it directly to the Swedish Transport Agency.

The first thing you need to do is download the app and then log in with BankID. Next, you must fill in the information about the acquirer of your vehicle, such as name, personal identity number or corporate identity number. Then you will need the vehicle's registration number and date of transfer to be filled in as well. Once all the information is filled in, you can review it to make sure everything is correct. When you are satisfied, confirm and submit the registration. The process is complete when you receive a confirmation from the Swedish Transport Agency, which can take a few days.

My Vehicles is a fast, easy and efficient way to report a change of ownership and saves you the time and hassle that it can traditionally entail. It is important to remember that the sale of your car is not over until you have reported the change of ownership to your Swedish Transport Agency. Don't forget to do this within 10 days of sale to avoid any fines or other issues.

We live in a digital world now and it's time we embraced technology to make our lives easier. By filling in the information online, we not only save time but also ensure that everything is correct and that we don't miss any important steps in the process. So the next time you sell your car, remember to download My Vehicles, fill in the details, submit them and then you can smile at the thought of having completed the sales process completely.
