Can I sell a car on behalf of someone else with Car-ma ?
Yes but you'll need the below information...
Additional documents required for vehicle sale
To ensure the sale is authorised correctly, we need some extra documents. Once these are uploaded and verified by Car-Ma’s Documents Team, you (the registered keeper) can be set up as the payee for the vehicle sale.
Please note: We cannot complete your sale without these documents.
Required documents

- Must be completed and signed by the registered owner.
- Contact documents@car-ma.co.uk for a sample letter.
Photo of registered owner’s driving licence
- An alternative form of photographic ID, such as a passport, is also acceptable.
Proof of address

- Utility bill
- Council tax bill
