Can You Choose a License Plate Before Buying a Car?
1 Answers
No, you need to buy a car first before you can get a license plate. When registering a motor vehicle for a license plate, you need to provide the car purchase invoice, so you must buy the car first to get the license plate. Reasons why you cannot choose a license plate without buying a car: Cars fall under the category of motor vehicles, and a motor vehicle license plate serves as the vehicle's identification. Without a vehicle, there is naturally no need for identification; when selecting a license plate number online, you must enter the car purchase invoice number and identification code before you can proceed with the selection. Without this information, you cannot choose a license plate number; the selected license plate number must be registered within 15 days. If this period is exceeded, the selected license plate number becomes invalid, and you will need to choose again. Documents required for license plate registration: Identity proof of the motor vehicle owner; proof of the motor vehicle's origin, such as the car purchase invoice; the motor vehicle's complete factory qualification certificate or proof of payment of import vehicle purchase tax or tax exemption certificate; motor vehicle compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate; proof of payment or exemption of vehicle and vessel tax; other proofs and documents required by laws and administrative regulations during motor vehicle registration.
