Can I get a license plate without a vehicle certificate?

[LaKyle]

You cannot get a license plate without a vehicle certificate. The vehicle license plate application process is as follows: 1. Obtain the vehicle certificate: The vehicle certificate is very important and is required for license plate registration. 2. Keep the triplicate car purchase invoice: After purchasing the car, the 4S store will issue a triplicate car purchase invoice. Be sure to keep it safe, as it will be used for subsequent license plate registration and other procedures. The invoice consists of red, yellow, and blue copies. Generally, the red and yellow copies need to be submitted, while the yellow copy should be kept by yourself. 3. Pay the vehicle purchase tax and obtain the tax certificates: After purchasing the vehicle, you should promptly pay the vehicle purchase tax, usually at the nearest vehicle management office. After successfully paying the vehicle purchase tax, you will receive the original and duplicate tax certificates. Remember to keep them safe. 4. Prepare various documents: Prepare the original and photocopies of your ID card in advance (make several copies for backup). Non-local residents need to provide the original and photocopies of their temporary residence permit. (For organizations, the original and photocopies of the organization code certificate are required.) 5. Register and inspect the vehicle at the vehicle management office: Once all the procedures are complete, you can go to the vehicle management office to register and apply for a license plate. First, a designated traffic police officer will inspect the vehicle, mainly checking the vehicle identification code, vehicle appearance, and warning triangle plate, among others. Prepare these in advance. 6. Choose a license plate number: After the vehicle inspection, you can go to the vehicle management office hall to select a license plate number. Generally, there are two options: self-selection or random selection. You can choose either method. 7. Pay the fee and wait for the license plate: After selecting the number and paying the fee, wait to receive the license plate. It usually takes three to five working days to get the license plate.
