If you are one of the minority who egypt phone data buy a vehicle in cash — 60% of people do so through financing —, the agency will most likely issue you an invoice letter valid for 30 days. During that time, you will have to complete the necessary paperwork to get the car on the road while they give you the invoice.

Something very important: if for some reason you do not have the invoice for the car, in particular situations the invoice letter can be used to prove that you are the owner . Of course, as long as you accompany it with other means of proof. Although the ideal thing will always be to request a certified copy of the original invoice and I will talk about this later.
