Getting the NCO wrong is expensive.
Avoid Title Disputes
An incomplete or incorrect NCO can leave the previous owner legally liable for fines and e-tolls on a car they no longer drive.

Frequently asked questions.
What is an NCO and why does it matter?
NCO stands for Notification of Change of Ownership — the official NaTIS process that legally transfers a vehicle from seller to buyer. Until it’s filed, the vehicle remains registered in the previous owner’s name, along with any fines, tolls, or licensing obligations.
I sold my car privately and just have the bank settlement letter — can you help?
Yes. Once your vehicle is paid off, we can process the change of ownership using your settlement documentation, original registration papers, and a copy of your ID.
How long does a change of ownership take?
Once we have complete and correct documentation from both parties, we typically submit to NaTIS within a few working days. Delays are almost always caused by missing or incorrect paperwork — which is exactly what we check for upfront.
Can the change of ownership be done if the seller is not available in person?
In many cases, yes — provided the seller has signed the required forms and supplied a copy of their ID. Contact our team with the details of your sale and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
