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.
