Can a used car use its previous license plate?
1 Answers
When transferring ownership of a used car, the original license plate number cannot be retained. Here are the relevant details: 1. Article 19, Paragraph 2: If the vehicle owner's residence is within the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office, the office shall confirm the vehicle, verify the vehicle identification number imprint, review submitted documents and certificates, retrieve the license plate and registration certificate, determine a new license plate number, record the transfer details in the vehicle registration certificate, and reissue the license plate, registration certificate, and inspection mark within one day of accepting the application. 2. Used car license plates: Cannot be transferred with the vehicle. While the car is private property that can be transferred, the license plate is state-owned property and does not belong to any individual or group. Owners only have the right to use the license plate, not ownership rights, so it cannot be transferred with the vehicle.
