Estimara is road permit

yes u have to transfer the insurance to your name

There are three sides to every argument: your side, my side and the right side

I just bought a 2h car. Traffic was a disaster - 5 trips to complete!!!

You will need the estimara, patience, a fair understanding of arabic, and both parties to the deal. Yes, seller and buyer must turn up together. This I ws told on my 4th trip - a copy of the seller ID & a letter were insufficient. We returned together on the 5th trip, he paid his (previously unmentioned) fines, then, halas!!

You can register an uninsured car, but you cannot insure an unregistered car. Thus, rego first, insurance 2nd.

Good luck.

As stated above, the traffic officers usually do not ask for the insurance transfer at the time of transfer of car ownership, so leave it to the buyer.

Estimara is the car registration card similar to your QID or pataka.

Check traffic violations (visit http://www.moi.gov.qa)

Assuming you already cleared violations (if any) and settled payment with buyer

Visit Traffic Dept., or hand over QID to a representative, and bring car Estimara (orig)

Go to typing booths, mention transfer of car ownership

They will type-in details in the MOI form (name, address, etc.) and attach stamp

Go to traffic office, take queue number

Present your document (filled form), your QID, your car Estimara and buyer's QID to the officer

Pay fees by electron card

Officer will issue new Estimara card

Buyer arrange transfer of insurance

Not sure about the cost, approx. QR 90 (70 + 20 for car tint) if I'm not mistaken.

I sold my car two years ago and went through above process. If the procedure has changed, would welcome any information as I intend to sell my other car soon.
