Are the license plates of court-auctioned vehicles transferred together?

[OSadie]

Court-auctioned vehicle license plates are not transferred together. The vehicle can be transferred, but the license plate cannot. When transferring the vehicle, the vehicle management office will cancel the original license plate and vehicle registration certificate, and issue new ones to the transferee. Legality of motor vehicle license plate auctions: License plate auctions are illegal and lack legal basis. The "Automobile Industry Development Policy" promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission also stipulates that no unit may impose any non-operational service fees on automobile consumers except for the fees stipulated by the state. Vehicle license plates are public resources, not government property, and taxpayers are the true owners of the plates. Auctioning public resources should require public consent and cannot exclude the public from decision-making. Article 19 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles" stipulates that for transfer registration, the current owner of the motor vehicle shall fill out an application form, submit the vehicle for inspection, and provide the following documents and certificates: Identity proof of the current owner, proof and certificate of vehicle ownership transfer, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle registration license, for customs-supervised vehicles, the "Release Certificate of Customs-Supervised Vehicles" or customs-approved transfer certificate, and for vehicles exceeding the inspection validity period, the vehicle safety technical inspection certificate and compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate.
