Can the license plate number be changed?
1 Answers
If you are not satisfied with your license plate number, it cannot be changed. Once a license plate number is determined, there is no way to alter it unless the vehicle is transferred to another owner, at which point a new number can be selected. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider your choice before finalizing the license plate number to avoid unnecessary transfer fees and time delays. The "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" stipulate: Article 53: The determination of motor vehicle license plate numbers is conducted through computer-automated selection or by the vehicle owner arranging the number themselves in accordance with the standard regulations for license plates. Article 58: If motor vehicle registration is obtained through fraudulent means, bribery, or other improper methods, the traffic management department of the public security authority will confiscate the motor vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and vehicle license, and revoke the motor vehicle registration. The applicant will be prohibited from applying for motor vehicle registration for three years. For motor vehicles suspected of being involved in smuggling, theft, or robbery, the case will be transferred to the relevant authorities for handling.
