Can I still use a temporary license plate if I already have a regular one?

No, you cannot use a temporary license plate if you already have a regular one. Once you receive your regular license plate, the temporary plate becomes invalid. For new vehicles, after obtaining the regular license plate, the temporary plate will expire regardless of its original expiration date. Failure to display the newly issued license plate promptly may result in a 12-point deduction on your driver's license. A temporary license plate, also known as a temporary vehicle movement permit, is a paper license issued by the vehicle management department of the public security authorities for newly purchased vehicles before official registration. The validity period of a temporary license plate does not exceed 30 days, and there are four types: temporary plates for administrative jurisdictions, cross-jurisdictional temporary plates, temporary plates for testing purposes, and temporary plates for special-type motor vehicles.
