Can a Zhejiang A regional license plate be converted to a Zhejiang A license plate? "Zhejiang A regional license plate" refers to the special license plate for small passenger vehicles registered using the "regional indicator." Currently, the combination of the license plate number is such that the 2nd and 5th or the 3rd and 4th digits after "Zhejiang A" are letters, while the rest are numbers, for example: "Zhejiang A·5B55B" or "Zhejiang A·55BB5." More relevant information is as follows: Registration process: For the registration of a "Zhejiang A regional license plate," apart from the different category of indicator used, the procedures and required materials are the same as the original requirements. Application conditions: Answer: Individuals and units that meet the application conditions for incremental indicators can apply for regional indicators. Units and individuals who need to apply for regional indicators can do so through designated websites, platforms, and the small passenger vehicle regulation window. After passing the qualification review, the regulation system will allocate the indicators.
I've been driving for twenty years and helped many old buddies in Hangzhou with license plate issues. Regional plates like Zhejiang A·F can be fully converted to official Zhejiang A plates, but you've got to follow a set process. You need to register with Hangzhou's Passenger Vehicle Total Control System, fill out the application for plate conversion, and then wait for the lottery results. If you don't win the lottery, you'll have to bid and pay for it. Last year, I saw a buddy spend fifteen thousand yuan to get it done—the key was he had to have a Hangzhou residence certificate and the vehicle had to be registered under his name. I suggest acting early because policies can change, and if the restricted zones expand, it'll be even more troublesome. Plus, after conversion, you can freely enter and exit the city without worrying about traffic police fines—much more hassle-free. Just remember to bring all the required documents to the DMV.
