hi guys...

just want to understand the procedure better....

so i bought a number plate online recently, and so far the transaction seems legit...


1. i paid in full, online transfer at his car shop
2. i received the JPJ official email of transfer of ownership, he did it on the spot through mysikap
3. the plate is direct owner, i believe he bought it and park it under a bike, because in the email its his details (both from the JPJ email and the bank acc)
4. i went to JPJ and manage to transfer the ownership to me, paid RM3 for it
5. i received the hard copy of the VOC, all in my details, and also got the model/year/specs of the bike
6. in the JPJ app, i can see the plate number i bought, its registered under my IC number now


but one thing i quite confused is...

is it normal for that person to ask back for the VOC...?

or its just for his own safe keeping/personal assurance that the person who now "owns" the VOC does not do anything stupid...? since technically im the "legal" owner of the bike now...

because when i asked why need to give back the VOC... his reason was the bike is not in KL, so they need to do inspection before sending it over...

he did say when its time to collect my new car, i just need to contact him 1-2 weeks before, as he needs time to send it for inspection...

thanks for responding...! but i think i created this thread in the wrong subforum...

already request mod to move it to F&F...

but good to know its legit now...

hi...

nope, its already registered on a bike...

but response by matrix88 mentioned that its the proper steps needed...

so i guess its legit, since the number plate is in my JPJ app as well...
