Procuration for the SAAQ?

Question

I'm going to buy a car saturday. Saturday the Saaq is closed, so we going to use Procuration, is it safe? The seller is going to bring the motorcycle at my home, then we fill up the procuration (hes selling it for 6000$ but we are going to Write 3000$ so I pay less taxes). Then he leaves and I go to the saaq monday. Is there any way to get scammed with this? or its safe?

Answer 1

Licensing a Vehicle Bought from an Individual

Buying a vehicle directly from an individual? You and the seller must go to a service outlet of the SAAQ, where both will be required to show identification, preferably a driver's licence.

If you do not hold a driver's licence or you are having someone act on your behalf for the vehicle registration operation, contact us to find out which documents are required.

Are you under age? You will need the Consent of Person Having Parental Authority (PDF) form signed by your father, mother or legal guardian.

If you are selling your vehicle to an individual but you cannot go with the person to a service outlet of the SAAQ, have yourself represented by someone you could easily reach in the event of a problem. The person acting on your behalf will need your Proxy Form (PDF). N.B.: photocopies or faxes of the proxy form will not be accepted in SAAQ service outlets. The original must be presented.

Remember:

You remain liable for the vehicle until it is registered in the buyer's name. You would be responsible for paying traffic fines or for property damage caused with the vehicle as long as you are the owner of record. Best to check that the vehicle is no longer registered in your name before asking your automobile insurer to cancel a third-party liability insurance policy.
