For those who sold a vehicle (regular car & light vehicle)

・Please fill out the documents sent by Cartree and return the documents you prepared to Cartree using the return envelope (Yu-Pack) sent by Cartree. Please note that documents to be placed in the vehicle (automobile tax payment certificate, light vehicle tax payment certificate, compulsory automobile liability insurance certificate, recycling ticket) should be kept with you and placed inside the vehicle on the vehicle delivery date.

For those who purchased a vehicle (regular car & light vehicle)

・Similarly, for those who purchased a vehicle, please fill out the documents sent by Cartree, and after confirming there are no errors in the Cartree documents, return the documents you prepared to Cartree using the return envelope (Yu-Pack) sent by Cartree.

As explained above, for "transfer registration," not only are the required documents different between the seller and buyer, but they also differ between regular cars and light vehicles, so caution is required.

Also, if the address on the vehicle inspection certificate (vehicle registration) and the seal registration certificate/application request form are different, the following documents are required.

・If your address has changed once : Resident certificate

・If your address has changed multiple times: Family register attachment or removed resident certificate

・If your surname has changed due to marriage, etc.: Family register

*For light vehicles, only a resident certificate is required regardless of the number of moves.
