How to claim the Deceased's motor vehicle?
You will need to submit an online application via https://go.gov.sg/pto under “Deceased’s estate other than un-nominated CPF moneys / Baby Bonus / Edusave / PSEA”.
If the Deceased left behind a car or motorcycle, you could request for a transfer to the beneficiary if the total value the Deceased’s estate is less than $50,000.
Common types of documents required are:
Death Certificate of Deceased
Birth Certificate of Deceased
Marriage Certificate of Deceased
Decree Nisi Absolute (if the Deceased was divorced)
Birth Certificate of Beneficiary
Identity Card of Beneficiary
Death Certificate of Beneficiary (if Deceased)
Marriage Certificate of Deceased’s Parents
Death Certificate of Parent (if Deceased)
Certificate of Inheritance (For Muslims only)
PARF/COE Rebate certificate for the vehicle obtainable from https://onemotoring.lta.gov.sg
If there are multiple beneficiaries, (e.g., Deceased left behind a spouse and children) they may choose to give up their share so that claimant can claim the motor vehicle. Alternatively, the claimant may buy over the other beneficiary’s shares.
Important: Only beneficiary who is 21 years old and above can give up his / her share.
