Could anyone advise: I want to sell a bike to an individual and then buy a new one thru the bike shop. Do I need two separate residence certificates? One for selling and another one for buying? Is one not enough- and use a copy?

Would anyone know the agents that could do RC for a reasonable price- especially if I need two.

Thank you 🙏

Others indicated that two certificates might be needed for the separate transactions, and some mentioned that obtaining these certificates can be done for free in certain areas or through agents.
