Law / New car registration with old insurance after car purchase in Poland [5]

Hello forum,

This is my first post here,

I recently bought an old beater car, it's insured with basic OC to the precedent owner till June 2019, but he was paying that in rates every 3 months, so it will need to be renewed in January and April.

1 - Do I need to register the car at my name or can I drive it without registering it? Talking with a guy he told me that I don't need to register the car again and that the purchase contract was enough to drive, but reading online it looks like I have the obligation to register it within 30 days from the moment I sign the contract.

2 - Do I need to cancel the current insurance and register one at my name? I'm a young driver and the current car insurance is considerably lower than the quotes I got around the internet, so for me it would be nice to just renew the current insurance till June, but can I do that? I really don't want to get in trouble with insurance refusing to pay because the insurance was not at my name.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey,

Thank you Nathans and Richthecat so much for the answers, I will then register the car and insure it at my name!

For the fact I'm a foreigner it's not a problem as I'm here since february and I already did all the papers to stay, including PESEL.
