Can temporary license plates still be used after the official ones arrive?
1 Answers
No. After a new vehicle receives its official license plates, the temporary plates become invalid regardless of whether their expiration date has passed. Failure to promptly display the newly issued license plates may result in a 12-point deduction from the driver's license and a fine. The official plates should be displayed immediately upon receipt. Additional information: Temporary license plates have time and regional restrictions. They can be applied for at the local vehicle management office under any of the following circumstances: 1. When driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to the place of use, temporary plates must be obtained from the vehicle management office at the purchase location; 2. When transferring vehicle registration and the official plates have been surrendered, temporary plates must be obtained from the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location; 3. When a new vehicle without official plates in the local area needs to be driven to another location for modifications, temporary plates must be obtained locally, and after modifications are completed, temporary plates must be obtained at the modification location to drive back to the original area; 4. When a vehicle purchased locally needs to be driven to another location, temporary plates must be obtained locally for the trip; the same applies in reverse. 5. When the vehicle registration is not yet finalized and a temporary trial is needed.
