The Minister of State James Lawless, today launched the new Online Change of Vehicle Ownership service. This e-government service allows private (non-trade) vehicle owners to transfer vehicle registration to another private owner, entirely online.
The Online Change of Vehicle Ownership service can be accessed at https://www.vehicleservices.gov.ie/cvo/ or through www.motortax.ie (www.motarchain.ie as gaeilge).
The new service will allow buyers to check vehicle details against the vehicle register. These include make/model, colour, motor tax status, test status, number of previous owners, and whether or not the vehicle was imported.
This enables the buyer to get accurate and real-time information about the vehicle before completing the purchase, making the experience more transparent and efficient.
