Selling a vehicle in BC when the paperwork is a mess

In British Columbia, transferring a vehicle usually requires the registration (APV9T form from ICBC). But real life is messier than that - here's what to do when the paperwork is missing.

If you have the registration: perfect. We fill out the transfer on the spot, you sign, and you're done.

Lost registration? ICBC can issue a replacement at any Autoplan broker for a small fee, usually same day. You'll need photo ID and the VIN.

Vehicle registered to a deceased family member? You'll need the will or letters of administration. Call us first - we'll tell you exactly what to bring.

Call our team for a cash offer

Tell one of our vehicle buyers the year, make, model and condition - most offers are given on the first call. Free towing on most complete vehicles across the Lower Mainland.
