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.
Abandoned vehicle on your property? There's a legal process for claiming it. We can point you to the right municipal contact.
