Can I skip the transfer after selecting a license plate on 12123?
2 Answers
After selecting a license plate on 12123, you can skip the transfer, but it is not recommended. Here is a detailed introduction about vehicle transfer: Overview: Vehicle transfer refers to changing the name of the vehicle owner, which is an essential procedure in the process of buying and selling used cars. When there are issues such as car accidents, failure to participate in annual inspections, stolen vehicles, or smuggled vehicles, the normal transfer procedures cannot be followed. Notes: When a vehicle is moved from one city to another, the registration process to change the affiliated vehicle management authority is called transfer of registration. Vehicle transfer must involve changing the license plate and vehicle registration certificate, and the procedures should be handled at two different vehicle management authorities, including the transfer-out procedures and the transfer-in procedures.
I've encountered this situation when selecting license plates online, and it's indeed not advisable to skip the transfer process casually. After choosing a license plate number on the Traffic Management 12123 platform, you must complete the transfer procedures within the specified time frame, usually within 15 days. If you select a number and then abandon it without completing the transfer, that plate number will automatically be invalidated, and you'll also be restricted by the system from selecting a new number for a certain period, such as being unable to operate for six months. This not only wastes your selection opportunity but may also cause issues when buying or selling vehicles or handling other traffic management services in the future. More troublesome is that if the vehicle is still registered under the original owner's name and the transfer isn't completed, it could enter a 'blacklisted' status, leading to unclear liability for traffic violations and potential disputes. I recommend planning the transfer time before selecting a plate number. If you've already chosen a number, go to the DMV as soon as possible to complete the procedures—delaying it for too long can really affect your daily vehicle use. Don't let a small issue turn into a big problem; completing the necessary procedures in one go is the most hassle-free approach.
