How to Sell a Car Privately in Quebec
The SAAQ allows private transfers online via SAAQclic (if eligible) or in person at a service outlet.
Seller checklist (Quebec)
- Check SAAQclic eligibility for online transfer. Online transfers are available for passenger vehicles under 25 years old, registered under one name, and with no unpaid fines.
- Bring required identification for in-person transfers. At a service outlet, the buyer and seller must show a driver's licence or another official photo ID document.
Buyer steps after the sale
- Provide the vehicle's odometer reading at the service outlet or during the SAAQclic process.
- Accept or complete the transfer within any time limit stated by SAAQ—check the SAAQ guide for online transfers.
- QST is collected on the agreed selling price or the estimated value, whichever is greater.
Additional notes
- SAAQ advises that until the transfer is completed, the seller may remain responsible for the vehicle. Complete the transfer promptly to protect both parties.
