After obtaining the license plate, you can apply for a Beijing entry permit. Required documents: Valid driver's ID card, motor vehicle driving license, motor vehicle registration certificate, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, motor vehicle safety inspection compliance mark, and a certificate from the local environmental protection department confirming the vehicle meets environmental requirements. Penalties: Non-local vehicles entering Beijing without a Beijing entry permit will face a penalty of three points if caught. If the vehicle does not leave outside the Sixth Ring Road within four hours, it will face an additional three-point penalty, and so on. How to apply: Log in to the Beijing Traffic Police APP, click to apply for a Beijing entry permit for freight vehicles and small passenger cars, add the vehicle, fill in the motor vehicle information and Beijing entry information, then submit the application after confirmation.

I encountered the same issue when I bought my new car. A newly licensed vehicle is eligible for a Beijing entry permit. That day, I brought all the documents for my new car to apply, and the staff said the most crucial items were the original vehicle license and the compulsory traffic insurance policy. It's also best to bring a copy of the motor vehicle registration certificate, which new car owners often forget. Friends with out-of-town license plates should remember to make an appointment in advance on the Beijing Traffic Police APP—uploading photos of both sides of your ID card is particularly important. Beijing has high environmental requirements, and vehicles below China VI emission standards may face restrictions. It's advisable to go before 3 PM when it's less crowded and processing is faster. Don't wait until the last minute before entering Beijing to rush the application.

Last year, my friend encountered this issue right after getting the license plate for his new car. Actually, there isn't much difference between applying for a Beijing entry permit for a new car and a regular one—the key lies in having complete documentation. You need to bring three essential items: the owner's ID card, the driver's license, and the original vehicle registration certificate, especially ensuring the registration certificate is the latest version. When applying online, pay attention to two points: unclear photos may lead to rejection, and selecting the wrong vehicle type can also cause delays. If you're in a hurry to enter Beijing and face system delays, you can directly go to the checkpoint for on-site processing. Remember to avoid rush hours in the morning and evening to save time from queuing.

A newly licensed vehicle is fully eligible for a Beijing Entry Permit. I just completed the process last month, mainly requiring a copy of the vehicle's original registration certificate and a copy of the ID card. When applying via the mobile app, pay attention to the angle of the vehicle photo—the entire license plate must be clearly visible. For out-of-town license plates, it's advisable to apply three days in advance as the review takes time. The Beijing Entry Permit is valid for only seven days, so plan your travel dates carefully. If the application fails, it's likely due to photo quality issues with the materials—reuploading usually resolves the problem.
