The following documents shall also be submitted as required by the situation:

If the tare has changed due to any reason, a mass measuring certificate. Check with the registering authority for facilities from which these certificates are accepted.

If the VIN/chassis number of the vehicle is not correct on the eNaTIS, go through the police clearance process before the registration is submitted. The completed form RPC must accompany the application for registration.

If required by the registering authority, proof of the right to be registered as title holder of the motor vehicle concerned. Such proof may be an invoice, a sales agreement, etc. It is advised that you phone your nearest call centre or registering authority to establish whether they accept or require any other document as proof.
The police clearance process works as follows:

Request form RPC from the registering authority closest to the vehicle; this form is printed from the eNaTIS with the current vehicle details

Take the vehicle and the RPC form to the police office indicated on the RPC form, make sure that the police complete their part of the RPC form.

VERY IMPORTANT: Take form RPC back to the authority that issued it, for completion of the process.
