Can I get license plates in a different city within the same province?

It is possible to purchase a car and get license plates in a different city within the same province. Procedure for registering an out-of-town purchased vehicle locally: When buying a car from another city, you need to drive the vehicle back to your local area and first pay the vehicle purchase tax at the tax bureau. The vehicle purchase tax must be paid locally before you can proceed with license plate registration at the vehicle management office. After obtaining the tax payment certificate, you can then go to the local vehicle management office for vehicle inspection, license plate selection, and processing the vehicle license. Precautions for out-of-town car purchases: The price of an out-of-town purchased vehicle may not necessarily be cheaper; consider whether the round-trip costs make it worthwhile. Out-of-town car loans are permitted, but there may be practical difficulties. After purchasing a car out of town, in addition to various receipts, be sure to check for the national unified official invoice and vehicle qualification certificate. Without these two documents, you won't be able to register the vehicle normally when you drive it back.
