Can I apply for a temporary license plate on weekends?
1 Answers
Weekends are not available for applying for temporary license plates. Vehicle management offices are closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and statutory holidays, so registration procedures can only be processed during regular working hours from Monday to Friday. According to Article 46 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations": For ordinary consumers purchasing new vehicles that need to travel temporarily within the administrative jurisdiction, temporary license plates with a validity period not exceeding 15 days will be issued; for those needing to travel temporarily across administrative jurisdictions, temporary license plates with a validity period not exceeding 30 days will be issued. If the motor vehicle owner needs to apply for temporary license plates multiple times, the vehicle management office shall not issue temporary license plates more than three times. To apply for a temporary license plate, the applicant needs to provide a company introduction letter, vehicle origin certificate, qualification certificate, and other relevant documents (except for the introduction letter which will be archived, the rest will be returned to the applicant) to the vehicle management office. During the application, the starting and ending locations of the vehicle's travel and the duration of using the temporary license plate should be specified. After review by the management personnel and inspection of the vehicle, the temporary license plate will be issued, with the validity period and travel locations signed and confirmed.
