There are fees for license plate replacement. Below are the specific details for license plate replacement: 1. Documents required: vehicle purchase invoice, vehicle certification, ID card or organization code certificate of the invoice issuer and its copy, compulsory insurance policy, tax payment certificate, and temporary residence permit for non-locals. 2. Procedures: pay the vehicle purchase tax, submit the required documents (copy of the ID card or organization code certificate of the invoice issuer, copy of the vehicle certification, first copy of the vehicle purchase invoice, and tax payment copy). However, the original first copy of the invoice and the original vehicle certification must be brought along. 3. Registration application form and external inspection form: fill out the registration application form, bring the certification and application form to the environmental protection office to get the environmental protection stamp.

I've been driving for so many years and have changed my license plates several times. There are definitely fees involved, generally the basic government-regulated charges, such as the administrative fee for applying to change plates, which varies significantly across the country, averaging between fifty to one hundred and fifty yuan. You also have to add the plate production fee, which is usually not much, around ten to twenty yuan. If you want convenience and hire an agent (commonly known as 'yellow bulls'), they can save you queuing time but will charge an additional service fee, effectively doubling the cost. My personal experience is that going to the local DMV yourself is the most cost-effective. Bring your ID card and the original vehicle registration certificate, and you can pay in cash or by card. Don't forget that if your license plate is damaged or lost, you might need to report it to the relevant authorities first, which also involves a small fee. The total cost should be kept just over a hundred yuan—not expensive—but it's important to change it promptly to avoid fines that could cost more. A money-saving tip is to check the official price list online in advance to avoid being overcharged by intermediaries.
