Absher’s Vehicle Ownership Transfer service lets eligible individuals sell a vehicle and transfer ownership online after the buyer has examined it and both parties agree a price. The platform uses an intermediary account to document payment and link release of funds to delivery.
Check that the sale qualifies
The official Absher service states that both parties must have Absher accounts. It covers vehicles classified as private or private transport, subject to the conditions shown on the service. The vehicle must have valid registration, technical inspection and insurance, and must not be missing, wanted or held under restriction. Absher also checks for relevant violations against the buyer or vehicle.
The agreed price must fall within the range displayed by the live service. Resident ownership limits also apply. Before negotiating, open the official page and confirm that the vehicle and buyer qualify; do not assume a dealer, financed or company-owned vehicle follows the same route.
Agree the transaction before starting
- Inspect and test the vehicle safely.
- Verify the seller’s identity and that Absher shows them as the owner.
- Check the registration, inspection and service history.
- Agree the price, included items, defects and handover location in writing.
- Decide who bears inspection, insurance and any other costs not allocated by the official service.
- Arrange the buyer’s insurance as required for the transfer.
The Absher process records ownership and payment; it is not a mechanical inspection or warranty. For a high-value purchase, consider an independent inspection before accepting the sale request.
Understand the official charges
Absher’s published service page currently separates the government ownership-transfer charge paid through SADAD from the Absher sale-service charge added to the vehicle price and paid by the buyer. Check the live page and invoice before paying, because the amount displayed for your transaction is controlling. Do not add figures from separate tutorials or pay a supposed “release fee” sent by message.
Complete the transfer
- Seller creates the sale: sign in to Absher, open Vehicle Services and select Vehicle Ownership Transfer. Choose the vehicle, enter the buyer’s correct ID details, agreed price, region and the seller’s IBAN.
- Buyer reviews: the buyer signs in independently, opens the transfer request and checks the vehicle, seller and price. Enter the buyer’s requested banking details and accept only if everything matches the agreement.
- Buyer funds the transaction: follow the payment instructions generated by Absher. Use the service’s intermediary account and keep proof; do not pay a replacement account supplied outside the platform.
- Meet for handover: the buyer should see the vehicle, keys and agreed documents before confirming receipt. Both parties should remain able to access their registered Absher mobile numbers.
- Confirm delivery in Absher: follow the in-service handover and verification prompts. Do not share a one-time code or confirm delivery before the buyer actually receives the vehicle.
- Verify completion: the buyer checks that the vehicle appears in their Absher account and the seller checks that it has left theirs. Keep the completed transaction record.
Absher says the parties can cancel before completing the delivery option, with paid amounts handled electronically under the service terms. Read the live cancellation conditions before acting, particularly if a dispute has arisen.
Registration card and special cases
After completion, follow Absher’s current digital-document, printing or delivery instruction for the vehicle registration card. Do not make an unnecessary Traffic Department visit unless the account directs you to one.
A vehicle under bank finance, lease, company ownership, estate administration or legal restriction needs the route specified by the lender or authority. The private peer-to-peer instructions above should not be used to bypass a registered owner’s consent.
