Can Motorcycle License Plates Be Transferred?

[AvaDella]

Motorcycle license plates cannot be transferred. If the license plate is no longer in use, it must be deregistered at the vehicle management office, although the motorcycle itself can be transferred to another person. According to Article 35 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles" issued by the Ministry of Public Security: The vehicle management office shall review the submitted documents and certificates, retrieve the undamaged, lost, or destroyed license plates and vehicle registration certificates, and issue a replacement registration certificate within 1 day from the date of acceptance. Replacement license plates will be issued within 15 days from the date of acceptance, with the original license plate number remaining unchanged. To apply for the use of the original license plate number, the following conditions must be met: 1. The application must be submitted within 6 months after the transfer or deregistration is completed; 2. The original owner must have owned the vehicle for at least 3 years; 3. All traffic violations and accident liabilities related to the original vehicle must be resolved.
