Question

Dear Xpats,

I have just bought a second hand car. I made already the Insurance & Number plate. How to register the car in my name? I am asking this because i still got the "small pink/red registration paper from the previous owner".

I want to register this car in my name and How can i get this pink/red small registration paper in my name?

Any kind advices highly appreciated,

Thanks for all of you in advance,

Hussi

What do you mean when you say that you "made" the insurance and number plates?

If you mean you went to your insurer to arrange your coverage and request your new number plates, then you should receive the new "certificat d'immatriculation" (which BTW is now green, no longer pink) together with your new rear number plate.

If you have already received the new number plate and no other papers were present, then you need to contact DIV. The pink paper you have is most probably either void or about to expire.

I cannot understand how you have got a number plate but not got the car registered in your name.
In Belgium, when you buy a car, it comes WITHOUT a number plate. A new plate is only allocated when a car is registered in the name of a new owner and this is commonly organised by the insurer.
You should discuss this with your insurer and be sure that you understand exactly how these things are done here.

Well may be i did not made my question clear,

When i bought my car, there was no number plate, But there was a pink A4 size paper came with it call "certificat d'immatriculation", Car pass, some papers from certified technical control and a small folded pink paper where mentioned the previous owner name on it.

So what i did first of all i have contacted the insurance and made a appointment to visit. Then i had to fill my names and bio informations on that A4 pink paper call "certificat d'immatriculation" and i went to the insurance together with it. Then i signed for the insurance which was started to cover from next day, In the next day also i received my number plate by post.

But i still got that folded small pink paper where the previous owner name is mentioned.

I dont know whether i will receive it later by post, but it almost now 2 weeks that i bought my car and sign the insurance. I am kind of confused now really.............

I am sorry for my english and if i did not made it clear,

Thank you for your patience and attentions in advance,

Best regards,
Hussi

The papers for your car should have been in the packet that contained the number plate. If you threw it away without looking or if they were missing, you will need to contact the DIV. You will probably have to go to the DIV personally as they will need to check your Belgian ID.
