Can I use my original license plate when changing cars?

As long as the conditions are met, you can use your original license plate after changing cars. The 2020 new regulations on license plates have further relaxed the conditions for retaining the original license plate number. Whether it's a scrapped or transferred vehicle, you can apply to retain the original license plate. According to the new license plate management policy, as long as the new conditions are met, you can continue to use the original license plate. The following conditions must be satisfied to use the original license plate: 1. The license plate must have been used for more than 1 year to be retained. Previously, the original vehicle license plate had to be used for more than three years to be retained. However, after the reform, you can apply to retain the license plate after using it for one year. 2. The time limit for applying to retain the original number has been extended to one year. After the new regulations were adjusted, the application period for retaining the original number has been changed from "must be submitted within 6 months after the original vehicle is transferred or scrapped" to "can be submitted within one year." This gives car owners enough time to choose and purchase a car, which is also beneficial for car owners with tight budgets. 3. All traffic violation records on the original vehicle must be cleared.
