Can I Use My Old License Plate When Buying a New Car?

[McAaron]

You can use your old car's license plate on a new car, but there are certain conditions that must be met. The details are as follows: 1. The license plate must be under the same vehicle owner's name. This means the owner of both vehicles must be the same person. 2. The registration location must be the same. This is straightforward—the plates must be from the same region. For example: A Lu Q plate can only be exchanged for another Lu Q plate; a Hu A plate can only be exchanged for another Hu A plate; a Jing A plate can only be exchanged for another Jing A plate. 3. The type of license plate must be the same. This means: a yellow license plate can only be exchanged for another yellow plate; a blue license plate can only be exchanged for another blue plate; a green license plate can only be exchanged for another green plate. 4. The vehicle must be non-commercial. In other words, only private household vehicles are eligible for plate exchange; commercial vehicles such as taxis are not eligible.
