So here is the procedure for biometric transfer at ISLAMABAD.
Kindly NOTE : you do not need an agent - they charge excessively and the procedure is pretty straight forward.
1- the buyer, the seller and the vehicle needs to be present.
2- the procedure takes about 1.30hr or so - maybe faster after you go through these steps
3- go to Islamabad vehicle 33.675030, 73.053539 (coordinates)
4- enter the building - from entrance - to your left there is small office with 3 windows.
5- go to first one - ask him for FORM for transfer. its 40 PKR
6- FORMS are bunch of 4-5 pages in Urdu and you will see open bench area, right from the entrance.
7- take the black thumb print ink pad for you -
8- fill the forms - details of vehicle being transferred , details of buyer and seller etc. NIC photocopies
9- take the filled form back to window-2 - and ask for car inspection - he will look at your filled forms and will direct you
10 - you need to basically take all papers - go out of the building
11- take your vehicle and drive further beside HEC building to the open lot
12. HEC building is next to Excise building where you just finished filling your forms
13. a road turn right after HEC building and on its left - there is like empty parking lots
14 coordinates are 33.672543, 73.054940 - you will see other cars lined up as well
15. get in line with your vehicle being transferred, a person will come and inspect the vehicle
16. he checks the VIN/ docs, overall condition - then directs you to a cabin for inspection stamp
17. come back to MVR office and go to window-2 , give him inspection stamp papers
18. he will do biometric verification and print a small receipt
19. take all papers and his receipt to the right side - across the shed, front of bank, a staircase is leading to further offices
20. you will see lines of people - but it moves FAST
21. get into transfer line - submit paper - he will do data-entry and give you challan to pay bank fee or NOT - case by case
22. after data entry - if no bank challan needed, you take papers, walk down stair case, take left and walk like 100m
23. some more cabins with windows - submit your papers - they do some more entry and charge as per SMART ID
24. I paid I think 1500
25. they will keep all your papers and give you transfer letter - done !
26. the Smart ID needs to be picked after a month - as the guy told me.
NOW important things to remember.
1- the transferring vehicle - ensure its papers are ALL ok , token paids and no major signs of accident, broken lights
2- if you are buying a vehicle registered on company name then you need 1 more letter
3- the hand-written letter on company letterhead of NOC to sell this vehicle.
4- you will submit this paper with your forms with the NIC of the company owner
TRY & STAY away from AGENTS
1- to be honest it was first time for me. a friend had referred someone but I found out it was an agent asking 5000/-
2- once I started the procedure - I asked the guys in lines, they were extremely helpful.
3- I did all the work asking and it took me 1.30hr with the car-inspection.
4- the biometric verification is 2 mins job
5- ENCOURAGE your friends, family to do the procedure themselves. the system is easy - SAY NO TO BRIBES !
hope this helps,
Ahmed
