  • A South Korean platform called "Carbang" has launched an online service for changing vehicle ownership, including joint ownership.
  • Previously, changing joint ownership required in-person visits and extensive paperwork, causing inconvenience.
  • The new service uses mobile phone authentication instead of paper documents like power of attorney and seal certificates.

Navigating the process of changing vehicle ownership in South Korea, particularly for jointly owned vehicles, has become significantly more convenient with the introduction of a new online service.

Traditionally, transferring vehicle ownership, whether establishing joint ownership between spouses or parents and children, or changing from joint to single ownership, involved cumbersome procedures. This often necessitated direct visits to vehicle registration offices and the preparation of numerous documents, leading to considerable hassle for vehicle owners.

Recognizing this inconvenience, the non-face-to-face vehicle ownership transfer platform "Carbang" has rolled out its "Online Joint Ownership Transfer Registration Service." This innovative service aims to streamline the process by leveraging mobile phone-based identity verification for transaction parties.

This digital approach replaces the need for traditional paper-based documents such as powers of attorney and seal certificates, which were previously mandatory for joint ownership transfers. The platform's adoption of mobile authentication simplifies the procedure, making it more accessible and efficient for users managing shared vehicle ownership.
