Yes, provided that the license plate has been used on the original vehicle for more than one year. Plates used for less than one year cannot be retained. Additional details are as follows: 1. Starting from June 1, 2019, if an individual owns two or more vehicles, the license plates of these vehicles can be swapped. The prerequisite is that the vehicles involved in the swap must be non-commercial vehicles, and the application must be submitted one month in advance. 2. Conditions for applying to retain the original license plate: 1) The license plate must have been used on the original vehicle for at least one year; 2) The application to retain the original license plate must be submitted within one year after the transfer or deregistration of the vehicle (the retention period is only one year); 3) All traffic violations and accidents involving the original vehicle must be resolved; 4) The original license plate can only be retained and used by the original owner, and it can be used on either a new car or a used car.
