Can You Buy a Car and Get It Licensed Without a Driver's License?
2 Answers
You can buy a car and get it licensed without a driver's license, as the licensing process does not require a driver's license check. However, you cannot drive the car on the road without a valid license. Some car owners prefer to purchase and register a car before obtaining their driver's license, so they can start driving immediately after passing the test. This is permissible. However, it is advised not to drive without a valid license, as it is both illegal and dangerous. When driving, you must carry your driver's license and vehicle registration, as traffic police may inspect these documents. Always follow traffic rules, avoid speeding, drunk driving, or overloading, and be mindful of yielding to non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians.
When I first bought my car, I didn’t even have my driver’s license yet, but now that car has already clocked over 30,000 kilometers. You can indeed buy a car without a license—I just took my ID card to the dealership, paid, and picked up the car. Registering the car wasn’t an issue either; the DMV only checks your ID, vehicle certification, and other documents—they don’t care if you have a license. Just remember to do three things: first, pay the purchase tax with the car invoice, second, get compulsory traffic insurance, and finally, take all the documents to the DMV for photos and license plate selection. The day I picked up my car was pretty awkward, though—I had to ask a friend to drive it home for me, but he was working overtime that weekend, so the car sat in the dealership’s parking lot for three extra days. If you’re planning to buy a car now, make sure to arrange for a driver or use a flatbed truck to transport it, or you’ll end up staring at it helplessly like I did back then!
