Process for completion of car loan and handover?

[miCRoSCoPiCeaRthLinG]

Hello,

I'd about to finish off my car loan in a few months. Can anyone kindly advise me on the process for completion of the loan? Let's say I pay up the final installment... what happens then?

In my country, here's what we need to do:

1. The bank issues a clearance certificate and hands over the blue-book / smart-card.
2. We have to take that and file a report at the local police station.
3. Take documents from 1 & 2 to the Land Transportation dept. and submit for change of ownership.

What is the process for Thailand? When I bought the car through financing, it was already transferred to my name - which now appears on the blue book, except that the blue book was retained by the bank. In this case, do I need to have any further interaction with DLT for transference of ownership?

Those who've gone through a similar motion, kindly advice.

Thank you.

Here you only have to do #1, after you have signed some papers. Easy.
