Frequently asked questions

What Signeret records and what remains separate.

What does the agreement record?+

The parties, item, observed condition, disclosures, price, payment and handover promises.

Does it complete the official transfer?+

No. The agreement does not complete the Transport Malta change-of-ownership process, replace the vehicle logbook declarations and witness signatures, or transfer a registered vessel. Use the current Transport Malta forms and registry process separately.

Can we sign electronically?+

EU eIDAS and Maltese electronic-commerce rules generally allow electronic evidence for an ordinary private agreement. A prescribed Transport Malta form, witness, original document, qualified signature or registry act keeps its own requirements.

Does Signeret verify ownership?+

No. Compare identity, authority, identifiers, registration, finance and other available evidence independently.

Which items are supported?+

Cars, motorcycles, trailers, caravans, boats, mopeds or scooters, and collectibles.

Is the service free?+

Yes. PDF download and the current digital-signing flow cost zero.

Can I add photos?+

Yes. Add relevant photos with permission and avoid unnecessary identity documents or sensitive material.

What consumer rules apply?+

A genuine private sale is not the same as a trader-to-consumer sale. Mandatory consumer rules can apply if the seller is actually acting commercially, regardless of how the transaction is labelled.
