Used cars can select license plates on 12123. The selection process occurs at the vehicle management office after the transfer is completed and the vehicle is registered under the individual's name, either by the owner or an authorized agent. Below is relevant information: 12123: "Traffic Management 12123" is the official mobile client application of the Ministry of Public Security's Internet-based comprehensive traffic safety service management platform (hereinafter referred to as the Internet platform), developed and technically supported by the Traffic Management Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security. This software serves vehicle owners and drivers nationwide. Development Prospects: Leveraging the "Traffic Management 12123" mobile app and the Internet-based comprehensive traffic safety service management platform, traffic authorities have introduced a new feature allowing online binding and self-service handling of traffic violations for non-personally owned vehicles, in addition to existing window and self-service processing options. As this platform significantly reduces waiting times at traffic violation processing windows and travel costs, Beijing has seen 740,000 new registered users in just over three months.

I recently completed the license plate registration for my used car and can confirm that you can directly select a license plate number on the 12123 Traffic Management APP. First, you need to complete the transfer procedures, then enter the "New Vehicle Plate Selection" or "Other Services" section on the platform to access the license plate selection feature. There are random and self-composed modes for selecting a number. I tried the self-composed mode and spent some time picking a good number. Note that after a used car transfer, you get a new plate, not the original one, so there might be restrictions on the number segments. It's advisable to check local policies in advance, especially in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, regarding availability. The whole process is quite convenient—just a few minutes on your phone—and saves you from queuing at the DMV. However, make sure to prepare your ID card and a copy of the car purchase invoice, and avoid entering incorrect information during login to prevent system lag and missing out on good numbers. If you encounter any issues, the built-in help options in the APP provide clear guidance, making it easy even for beginners to understand.

As a seasoned car owner who often helps friends with vehicle matters, I've found that selecting a license plate for a used car can indeed be handled through the 12123 platform. This typically happens after completing the transfer registration at the DMV. Just log into the app, select 'Vehicle Services,' and you'll enter the license plate selection interface. During the selection process, you get dozens of random chances and attempts to customize your plate—I managed to pick a nice-looking number that caught my eye. It's worth noting that the pool of available numbers for used cars getting new plates might be smaller compared to new cars, so if you don’t find a satisfactory number, you should quickly re-select or wait for a refresh. The platform supports most cities, but some smaller areas haven’t yet enabled online plate selection, so check the official website announcements first. For documentation, you’ll need a copy of the vehicle registration and ID information. Once you’ve picked your plate, simply schedule an appointment at the DMV for the vehicle inspection—it’s efficient and hassle-free. Also, make sure you have a stable internet connection to avoid interruptions; if the process fails, you can always recover and retry from your history. Overall, this feature is quite practical, saving us the hassle of making trips in person.

After purchasing a used car, I selected the license plate number directly on the 12123 APP. The transfer process was completed, and the plate selection interface on the mobile phone was simple and easy to understand, allowing for either random number generation or custom arrangement. After choosing the number, picking up the plate at the vehicle management office was much faster. Some places like Guangzhou and Hangzhou offer full functionality, but smaller counties may have limited features, so it's advisable to check the local service status of the APP first. Additionally, preparing materials such as a copy of your ID card is sufficient.

As a young person who manages daily affairs through apps, I have personally experienced using 12123 to select license plates for used cars. First, ensure the transfer registration is completed at the vehicle management office, then log into the platform and enter the plate selection section to begin. The process supports online operations for randomly selecting or customizing combinations of numbers. I was quite satisfied with the memorable number I chose. However, it's important to note that used car plate selection has restrictions, such as different number segments starting from 0, and some regions like Shenzhen may require the app to be updated to the latest version. After selection, the system saves the record for subsequent inspection appointments. The advantage is saving time from long queues and avoiding weather impacts. Preparations include uploading an electronic copy of the car purchase invoice and carefully filling in information to avoid errors. Overall, the feature is convenient and suits modern lifestyles.

As an average car owner, I found using the 12123 app to select license plates when changing to a used car incredibly convenient. The process involves logging into the app after the vehicle transfer, finding the "License Plate Selection" module, and following the step-by-step number selection procedure. I could choose between random numbers or creating my own preferred combinations. During the process, I noticed that used cars have fewer selection restrictions than new cars, but the number pool updates quickly, so it's advisable to act promptly. The platform's interface is clear with plenty of helpful prompts, making it easy for beginners to learn without feeling nervous. Remember to bring all necessary documents like ID card copies to the DMV for processing. The advantage is the freedom to control your time without queuing – it's safe and efficient, especially suitable for people like us who prefer hassle-free transactions. Additional tip: read instructions carefully during number selection to avoid operational errors that might cause you to lose good numbers, and make it a habit to regularly check for app updates to maintain smooth operation.

Can the license plate number be retained when selling a car?

Yes, it can be retained. After the transfer or scrapping of the old car, if the original owner meets the requirement that the license plate number has been used for one year, they can use the original license plate number whether they purchase a new car or a used car. Alternatively, they can opt for a new number. If the original owner does not apply to use the number within one year, the license plate will be returned to the selection pool and made available to the public. According to the new license plate management policy, the original license plate can be retained as long as the following conditions are met: 1. Usage period: The license plate must have been used for more than one year (previously, the requirement was three years). 2. Application period: The time limit to apply for retaining the original number has been extended to one year (previously, the application had to be made within six months after the transfer or scrapping of the original vehicle). 3. Clearance of violations: All traffic violation records associated with the original vehicle must be cleared.

How to Check Gasoline Quality?

Methods for testing gasoline quality are as follows: 1. Color identification: If the color darkens, it indicates the gasoline has been stored for too long and undergone reactions; 2. Smell test: Gasoline has a faint aromatic odor due to the presence of aromatic compounds—lightly sniff the gasoline to check its smell; 3. Actual measurement: Measure the octane number and density of the gasoline. Theoretically, the higher the octane number, the more resistant it is to burning. Additionally, gasoline density is best between 0.735 and 0.745. Currently, gas stations generally supply National IV gasoline with octane numbers typically between 93% and 94%, as well as National V 92-octane gasoline with octane numbers usually between 92% and 93%, and higher-grade 97 and 98-octane gasoline.
