The RC (Registration Certificate) transfer is one of the most important steps when buying or selling a vehicle in Nigeria.
What is RC Transfer?
RC transfer is the legal process of changing a vehicle's ownership from the seller to the buyer in the FRSC (Federal Road Safety Corps) database.
Why It Matters
Driving a vehicle without proper RC transfer exposes you to legal risks. It also affects insurance claims and resale value.
The Process
- Seller provides original RC, proof of ownership, and valid ID
- Buyer submits application at the state vehicle licensing office
- Documents are verified and processed
- New RC is issued in the buyer's name

With all documents in order, the process typically takes 2–4 weeks. MS Autos handles this on your behalf for a seamless experience.
