Can the License Plate Be Retained When Selling a Car?

[DelKaden]

It is possible to retain the license plate when selling a car, but certain conditions must be met: 1. The owner must have possessed the original vehicle for more than three years; 2. The application must be submitted within six months (including holidays) after completing the transfer or cancellation registration; 3. All traffic violations and accident records related to the original vehicle must be resolved. Important notes regarding license plate retention: 1. The license plate can only be used by the original owner and cannot be transferred to others (except for spousal changes); 2. The application for plate retention must be made within a one-year validity period, otherwise it cannot be processed; 3. In cases of vehicle ownership changes, such as inheritance, purchasing a used car with its plate, or receiving a vehicle as a gift from relatives or friends, the license plate cannot be transferred under these circumstances.
