Can a Car Purchased Out of Town Be Licensed Locally? A car purchased out of town can be licensed locally. According to relevant regulations, as long as the purchased vehicle has a formal invoice, a certificate of conformity, and has paid purchase tax and compulsory traffic insurance, any new car purchased from a formal auto trading market nationwide can be registered in the place of household registration. However, the compulsory traffic insurance must be paid at the place of purchase. The procedures for licensing out of town are as follows: 1. After purchasing a car out of town, ensure that the materials provided by the 4S store are complete, such as the car invoice, vehicle certificate of conformity, maintenance manual, etc. These items are essential. If the 4S store fails to provide any one of them, it will affect the subsequent licensing and maintenance of the new car. 2. The vehicle must have a formal invoice, certificate of conformity, purchase tax, and compulsory traffic insurance. Any new car purchased from a formal auto trading market nationwide can be registered in the place of household registration. Compulsory traffic insurance can be purchased at the 4S store, while other commercial insurance can be purchased in two ways: first, by purchasing insurance at the place of purchase, but it is important to choose a large insurance company that can handle claims and settlements nationwide. Second, by purchasing insurance at the place of licensing, only requiring the vehicle identification number, engine number, car photos, and other materials to be sent to the insurance company. The car can then be driven back to the local area for licensing after the insurance takes effect. 3. Apply for a temporary license plate: Since the car is purchased out of town, the new car must be driven back to the local area, so the owner must apply for a temporary license plate for the new car, specifically an out-of-town temporary license plate. Note that after obtaining the temporary license plate, the new car must be driven back to the local area within the validity period of the temporary license plate. Otherwise, if the temporary license plate expires, it must be reapplied for, with a maximum of three applications. 4. Register the new car at the local vehicle management office: After the new car is brought back to the local area, the owner can register the new car at the local vehicle management office. The regulations in China stipulate that as long as the vehicle has the four basic procedures of a formal invoice, certificate of conformity, purchase tax, and compulsory traffic insurance, it can be registered.
