Can a Temporary License Plate Be Valid for Up to 3 Months?

[McRemington]

Whether a temporary license plate can be valid for up to 3 months depends on the specific situation. The validity period of a temporary license plate within an administrative jurisdiction does not exceed 15 days, while a temporary license plate for cross-administrative jurisdictions does not exceed 30 days. However, for motor vehicles used for scientific research and prototype testing, or those that cannot be registered due to dimensions, weight, or other aspects not meeting national standards, the temporary license plate can be valid for up to 90 days. Below are detailed introductions regarding temporary license plates: 1. Required Materials: To apply for a temporary license plate, you need to prepare relevant documents in advance, including the buyer's ID card, purchase invoice, compulsory traffic insurance policy (copy), and the vehicle's factory certificate. Copies of all four documents must also be provided. 2. Placement: Generally, both temporary license plates must be affixed to the vehicle. One should be placed in the upper right corner of the interior windshield, ensuring it does not obstruct the driver's view or block the insurance label. The other should be placed in the upper left corner of the rear windshield. For vehicles with installation limitations, only one temporary license plate is required, to be placed in the lower left or lower right corner of the interior windshield.
