Can a new car be driven on the road without temporary license plates?

A new car cannot be driven on the road without temporary license plates. Before the official license plates are issued, temporary license plates are the only legal document allowing the vehicle to be driven on the road. When driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to the place of use, temporary license plates must be applied for at the local vehicle management office where the car was purchased. Applying for temporary license plates does not require vehicle inspection; you only need to provide your ID card, compulsory traffic insurance certificate (no vehicle inspection required), invoice, and vehicle qualification certificate. The vehicle management office can process the application on the same day. Situations requiring temporary license plates: 1. When transferring vehicle registration and the official license plates have been surrendered, temporary license plates must be applied for at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location; 2. For a new car that has not obtained official license plates locally and needs to be driven to another location for modifications, temporary license plates must be applied for locally. After modifications are completed, temporary license plates must be applied for at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location; 3. When the vehicle registration is not yet fixed and temporary use is required.
