Registering your Vehicle in B.C.
If you own a vehicle, and you are bringing it to B.C. from another province, in order to register the vehicle, the following is required:
- The vehicle registration document
- A “passed” Vehicle Inspection Report from a Designated Inspection Facility in BC; check the Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement website
- If the vehicle is from Nova Scotia, the Certificate of Title.
It will be necessary to have a signed and dated bill of sale if your vehicle is not registered in your name.
Although, having a vehicle registration document (or the Certificate of Title, if the vehicle is from Nova Scotia) will be admissible rather than a bill of sale. This document must be signed by the registered owner of the vehicle and it must name you as the new owner.
The vehicle than can be licensed and insured in BC after vehicle registration is complete. The Autoplan broker in BC can register, licence, and insure the vehicle for you.
