If you intend to sell the vehicle:

The seller must complete and submit the NCO form to their registering authority.
The seller must provide the buyer with the registration certificate.
For submission, the buyer must complete the Application for registration and licensing of motor vehicles (RLV).
If the vehicle was registered in SA, the buyer must submit the vehicle registration certificate.
