Can National V vehicles be transferred across regions?
2 Answers
If the registration region does not restrict National V vehicles, cross-regional transfer is possible; otherwise, registration and licensing will not be permitted. Below is more information on cross-regional vehicle transfer: When applying for the transfer-out of the vehicle from its original location, you need to prepare the vehicle registration certificate, vehicle license, original ID cards of both the buyer and seller, compulsory insurance policy, and ensure all traffic violation records are cleared in advance. Once all documents are ready, you can proceed to the vehicle management office at the original registration location to complete the transfer-out procedures. The buyer of an out-of-town vehicle must, within the 30-day validity period of the temporary license plate, bring the relevant files to the local vehicle management office where the vehicle will be registered to complete the licensing procedures. During the transfer-out process, the original license plate and vehicle license will be reclaimed, and a temporary license plate valid for 30 days will be issued. This temporary license plate must be kept safe as it must be surrendered when applying for transfer-in. The prerequisite for transferring an out-of-town vehicle is that the vehicle's emission standards comply with the emission policy of the destination region; otherwise, transfer will not be allowed. When the ownership of a motor vehicle is transferred, the new owner must apply for the transfer registration at the vehicle management office within 30 days from the date of delivery. Within three working days from the date of acceptance, the owner can collect the cross-regional Temporary License Plate (valid for 30 days), the motor vehicle file, and the Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate at the service acceptance window. The motor vehicle owner must apply for the vehicle's transfer-in at the vehicle management office of their residence within the validity period of the Temporary License Plate.
I recently handled the transfer of a China V vehicle from another location, and it was quite an experience. China V vehicles can be transferred across most cities in China, but some places like Beijing and Shanghai have strict emission standards, possibly requiring China VI or newer models. Before the transfer, it's essential to check the environmental policies of the destination—don't overlook this for the sake of convenience. I went through the local DMV, bringing the vehicle registration certificate, ID card, and insurance policy. The process wasn't complicated but might take a day or two. Car owners should pay attention to regular checks on the exhaust emission system to avoid rejection during transfer, which could delay plans. Cross-region transfers are meant to facilitate vehicle relocation or sale, and understanding the process can save a lot of hassle. Regular vehicle maintenance is crucial—don't wait until problems arise to start worrying.
