Can a second-hand car be licensed on the same day of transfer?

[Jon]

It is not possible to license a second-hand car on the same day of transfer. At the local vehicle management office, after checking whether the vehicle has any violations, the transfer can be processed. Upon completion of the transfer, the owner will receive a temporary license plate. The metal license plate usually takes three to five working days to obtain. Below is the relevant information: Precautions: Before licensing a second-hand car after transfer, the first thing to do is to handle any traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. Additionally, pay attention to the validity period of the compulsory traffic insurance (CTI). If the CTI has not expired, the transfer can proceed. If the CTI has expired, proof of purchase for new CTI must be submitted. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," after the completion of a second-hand car transaction, the transfer procedures must be completed at the vehicle management office within 30 days; otherwise, a fine will be imposed. 3-5 working days: For transfers within the same city, the process is usually completed on the same day, taking about 1-2 hours. The new license plate can be selected on the spot. However, the new license plate cannot be obtained directly after the transfer. Instead, two temporary license plates will be issued. The formal license plate usually takes 3-5 working days to complete the transfer procedures. If the license plate is mailed, it generally takes about 7 days.
