I’m an OFW, Can I Sell My Car in the Philippines?

Who We Are

At Mobee Cars Philippines, we make car selling easy, fast, and secure—whether you're here or abroad. As an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker), we understand your situation is unique. You're away, but you still need to manage responsibilities back home—including your vehicle. The good news? Yes, you can sell your car even if you're abroad, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.



3 Key Takeaways:

  1. Yes, OFWs Can Sell Their Car Remotely: You don’t need to be physically in the Philippines to sell your car. With a notarized Special Power of Attorney (SPA), a trusted representative can handle the sale for you legally.
  2. Mobee Cars Simplifies the Entire Process: Mobee Cars PH helps OFWs and their representatives with inspection, documentation, listing, and ownership transfer—making the process fast, safe, and hassle-free.
  3. Buying an OFW-Owned Car Is Safe (If Documents Are Complete): As long as the seller provides valid documents like OR/CR, SPA, and a signed deed of sale, buyers can safely purchase a car owned by an OFW with Mobee’s guidance.



What Does It Mean to Be an OFW?

An OFW is a Filipino working and living abroad to support their family back home. OFWs often own vehicles in the Philippines for their family's use or as an investment. But there may come a time when you decide to sell the car—whether to upgrade, free up cash, or because no one’s using it anymore.



Can an OFW Sell Their Car Without Being in the Philippines?

Yes, but there are requirements. You don't need to fly back just to sell your car, but you must prepare the proper documents and appoint someone you trust.



Here's how it works:


1) Prepare the Required Documents

  1. Original OR/CR (Official Receipt and Certificate of Registration)
  2. Photocopy of your valid ID (passport or government-issued ID) with 3 wet signatures
  3. Notarized Special Power of Attorney (SPA) authorizing someone in the Philippines to sell the car on your behalf
  4. Deed of Sale (to be signed by your authorized representative)
  5. Bank loan clearance, if the car is still financed


2) Assign a Trusted Representative

Your representative (usually a family member or friend) will coordinate with Mobee Cars. They will handle the inspection, documentation, and final sale while keeping you updated.


3) Mobee Handles the Rest

Once everything is ready, Mobee will list your car, get offers from verified buyers, and coordinate the entire safe and legal transaction process—including ownership transfer.



Buying a Car From an OFW: Is It Safe?

Yes, buying a car that was owned by an OFW is completely legal—as long as the seller (or their representative) provides complete documents and proof of ownership.


Buyers should look for:

  1. Properly signed Deed of Sale
  2. A notarized SPA showing the representative has authority to sell
  3. Updated and clean OR/CR (no violations, encumbrances, or unpaid fees)


Mobee helps verify all this so that buyers can safely purchase OFW-owned vehicles with full confidence.



Final Thoughts

Being overseas shouldn't stop you from managing your assets back home. Whether you're an OFW looking to sell your car or a buyer interested in buying one from an OFW, Mobee Cars Philippines ensures the process is smooth, safe, and fully documented.
