Can I get a vehicle license without a driver's license when buying a car?

Yes, you can, but you cannot drive on the road. You can buy and register a car without a driver's license, but you cannot drive the car on the road after purchasing it, as this is illegal. Here is the relevant information: No driver's license check: When registering a car after purchase, there is no check for a driver's license, so you can buy a car even if you haven't obtained a driver's license yet. After purchasing a new car, the registration requires an ID card, certificate of conformity, purchase invoice, proof of tax payment for vehicle purchase, insurance policy, etc. Vehicle inspection: At the vehicle management office, staff will inspect the vehicle and take photos. After the vehicle is registered, the owner will receive the vehicle registration certificate and the vehicle license. The vehicle registration certificate is equivalent to the car's household register, while the vehicle license is like the car's ID card. The vehicle license must be carried with the car at all times, but the registration certificate is not recommended to be kept in the car—it's better to store it at home.
You can completely obtain a vehicle license without a driver's license when buying a car. The vehicle license serves as the identity document for the car, used for registration and road use, and it does not require the owner to have a driver's license. During the application process, you need to provide documents such as the vehicle's invoice, insurance policy, and the owner's ID card, and then register directly at the vehicle management office. I've seen many friends who bought cars without a driver's license yet, and they still parked the car in the garage or hired a driver to take it home. The key point is that vehicle registration only establishes ownership and does not require driving qualifications. However, remember that once the car needs to be driven on the road, the driver must have a valid driver's license. So if you're buying a car for future use after obtaining a driver's license, getting the vehicle license in advance is fine; if you need to drive it immediately, you'll have to find someone with a driver's license to handle the driving. Overall, don't confuse the driver's license with the vehicle license—one governs the driver, and the other governs the car itself, with no overlapping requirements.
