Yes, a new car can use the old license plate. To transfer the old license plate to the new car, you need to go to the vehicle management office to complete the transfer of the old car. During the transfer process, you must request to retain the license plate and surrender the old one first. After obtaining the new car, go to the vehicle management office to retrieve the old license plate by providing the date when the old license plate was surrendered. Owners who retain their old license plates do not receive temporary plates and must display the old license plate until the new metal plate is issued within 15 working days. There are certain conditions for applying to retain the old license plate: 1. All accidents and violations related to the owner's original vehicle must be resolved; 2. The old license plate must have been used for more than 3 years; 3. The owner must not apply within 6 months after completing the transfer or registration procedures for the original vehicle.
