Can the temporary license plate still be used after the new license plate arrives?

No, it cannot be used. Relevant information: 1. Regulations: After receiving the new license plate for the vehicle, regardless of whether the temporary license is still valid, the new license plate must be used. If the newly received license plate is not promptly displayed, the driver will face a penalty of 12 demerit points and corresponding fines. 2. Temporary license plate: A temporary vehicle license plate is a paper license plate issued by the vehicle management department of the public security authorities, permitting the temporary use of the vehicle on the road before the new vehicle is officially registered. The use of temporary license plates is subject to time limits and regional restrictions, and their validity period generally does not exceed thirty days.

Once the new license plate arrives, it must be promptly installed, as the temporary plate can no longer be used. It's essentially a transitional item designed to serve temporarily until the new plate is ready. As an experienced car owner who has encountered this situation, I know that the temporary plate should be removed immediately after the new one is installed. Otherwise, if stopped by the police while driving, you could be found non-compliant, resulting in anything from a verbal warning to fines, penalty points, or even affecting insurance claims. Remember to securely fasten the new plate during installation to avoid scratches or looseness. Keep the temporary plate as a memento. Safety first—don't let small oversights lead to big troubles.

From the perspective of vehicle management, once the official license plate is obtained and installed, the temporary plate automatically becomes invalid. In practice, I've seen many cases where temporary plates are usually paper-based with short validity periods, and the arrival of new plates signifies the completion of new vehicle registration. Continuing to use old plates violates traffic laws and may cause traffic police to misunderstand the vehicle's identity. The handling method is simple: immediately secure the new plate upon receipt, check its clarity, and remove the temporary plate to prevent confusion. Reminder: keep backup copies of relevant documents.

When the new license plate arrived, I excitedly installed it right away, and the temporary plate had to say goodbye at this point—it couldn't be used anymore. Because it's just a transitional item, the installation of the new plate marks the establishment of the official identity. Don't think that mixing them can save trouble; in reality, it may lead to the embarrassment of traffic inspections and fines. I recommend taking a moment to appreciate the new look after installing the new plate, and driving out with more peace of mind. Keeping the temporary plate as a memory is a good idea.
