Home / BC paperwork guide
BC doesn't use a vehicle title. Here's what you need on pickup day, and what to do once the car is gone.
Rather talk it through? Call (236) 246-9907, every day 8am to 8pm.
Two short steps. We'll call you back with your quote.
Your insurance and registration come on one ICBC document. The registration is the bottom part, and it's your proof of ownership. If two people are listed, both sign. Lost it? Any Autoplan broker can print a replacement when you show ID.
If the car was financed, the loan has to be paid out and the lien discharged before you sell. You can check for liens with a serial number (VIN) search at BC's Personal Property Registry.
The Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T) moves the vehicle out of your name. Each registered owner signs it as the seller once payment is in hand. ICBC needs original signatures on all four pages, not copies. Keep your copy for your records.
Plates belong to ICBC, not to the car. Keep them for your next vehicle, or return them to an Autoplan broker.
Once the car is gone, visit an Autoplan broker to cancel the policy or move it to another vehicle. The broker can tell you about any refund on the unused term.
ICBC has a checklist for estate transfers. Depending on the situation, the executor, a surviving joint owner, or someone using ICBC's small-estate declaration signs. An Autoplan broker can confirm what applies, and we're happy to talk it through before pickup.
Both owners sign. If one can't be there on pickup day, talk to us before booking so the paperwork is ready.
Since March 2022, detached catalytic converters are regulated metal in BC. We only buy complete vehicles, never loose converters or parts.
BC's SCRAP-IT program offers incentives for retiring some older vehicles, and the car has to go through their program. If you want to use it, check eligibility at scrapit.ca before booking any pickup.
Rules change from time to time. If anything here doesn't match what your broker tells you, go with the broker.
Yes. It's how you prove the car is yours. If it's lost, get a replacement from an Autoplan broker before pickup day.
Both registered owners sign the transfer form. If one can't be there, talk to us before pickup day.
Take them off before the car is loaded. Keep them for your next vehicle or hand them in at an Autoplan broker.
Yes, once the car is gone. An Autoplan broker can cancel it or move it to another vehicle.
Not until the loan is paid out and the lien is discharged. A VIN search at BC's Personal Property Registry shows any liens.
