Hi,
If you sell a car in The Gambia, the car should also be registered under the name of the buyer.
I understood that for this you have to go to the police station, with all the documents of the car.
Does anybody know if you can go to all police stations, or should it be the Police station of Banjul.
And I am the owner, however, currently I cannot be in the Gambia to be present at the transfer of the car. Somebody is managing the car for me, and will also assist in the transfer of the car. How can I give permission from Europe that the car is allowed to be sold, and that the car can be registered on another name?
And a last question, any idea of the costs to register the car on another name?
Thanks in advance.
Yalika

A notarised Power of Attorney done from where you are transfering powers to the person in Gambia should be sufficient for that person to sign on your behalf. You can buy land in this way too.
The question is, how does officals in Banjul proof that the Power of Attorney is authentic?
I dont know the cost of transfer but should be fairly cheap. The last time i did it it was less than D500.00 (all fees). You cannot trasnfer at any Police station. Certainly not in Sare Ngai. |

| The transaction most include your identity papers such like a national identity card or passport or if you are an alien that certificate can be produced. Also the original documentation bearing your name as original importer bears your name so if transferring the vehicle it most be clear to the license officers that this is a genuine transfer and not one that could land them in court for tampering with your ownership etc. If your vehicle was registered at kanifing or any of the licensing bureau you may be able to get the transfer done at one of them, your problem would be getting the officials confirming that your transaction is genuine. I think basically it is meant to ensure that fraudulent transfers do not take place thus warding of dubious transactions which could be embarrassing to the licensing officers, if not bordering on criminal implications at worst.Do you remember the case of the government transport officer's case, it was all about getting the actual owner confirming to the licensing bureau that he/she indeed was transferring such ownership. If it is clear to them that you are the real owner and the documents you present showed you as the registered owner at the time of transfer you should be okay |
