Ministry of Interior rolls out ‘vehicle ownership transfer’ on ‘Sahel’ app

• The Ministry of Interior emphasized its commitment to digitizing services and enhancing its systems to provide accessible and efficient government services.

The Ministry of Interior has introduced a new “vehicle ownership transfer” service via the ‘Sahel’ app, as reported by Al Rai newspaper. This initiative aligns with the ministry’s vision of advancing digital transformation, aiming to streamline services and offer citizens a convenient, 24/7 electronic process that saves both time and effort.

The Ministry of Interior praised the Insurance Regulation Unit for its role in finalizing the operational framework of the new electronic vehicle ownership transfer service available through the ‘Sahel’ app. The process involves a simple series of steps. The seller must first access the ‘Services’ list, select ‘Ministry of Interior,’ then ‘Traffic Services,’ and choose ‘Transfer of Vehicle Ownership.’They will submit a new order, specify the vehicle, and enter the civil number of the new owner. A notice will be sent to the new owner, who must then review and approve the transfer request, pay the insurance transfer fees, and send a notice to the seller.

The seller must acknowledge receipt of payment and pay the ownership transfer fees, which will trigger a notice to the buyer. The buyer will then access the notice to download the new electronic vehicle license, which will be added to their digital wallet via the ‘ID’ application. The Ministry of Interior emphasized its commitment to digitizing services and enhancing its systems to provide accessible and efficient government services.
