Can I still get a license plate if my temporary license plate has expired?

Temporary license plate expiration does not prevent you from obtaining a permanent license plate. As long as all the required procedures and documents are complete and legal, you can still get a license plate regardless of whether the temporary plate has expired. However, driving with an expired temporary license plate will be penalized as driving without a license, resulting in a fine of 200 yuan and 12 demerit points. New vehicles should not use temporary license plates for more than 15 days, and owners should promptly apply for official license plates from the vehicle management authority. Relevant regulations on vehicle license plates: 1. The "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that if a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display a license plate, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license plate, and impose a fine of 200 yuan and 12 demerit points in accordance with Article 90. 2. Temporary license plates clearly indicate their validity period, so owners must pay attention to the expiration date and not drive on the road with an expired temporary plate. Once caught, they will face penalties such as demerit points, vehicle impoundment, and fines, with varying enforcement methods in different regions.
