Do I Need to Cancel the License Plate After Selling the Car?

[StEsther]

License plates cannot be canceled separately. After selling the car and completing the transfer registration, the vehicle management office will issue a new license plate, and the old one will be automatically canceled. Below is the relevant introduction from the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations": 1. How to Cancel: When the ownership of a registered motor vehicle is transferred, the current owner must apply for transfer registration at the local vehicle management office within 30 days from the date of vehicle delivery. Before applying for transfer registration, the owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. 2. Processing Time Limit: If the current owner resides within the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office, the office must, within one day of accepting the application, confirm the vehicle, verify the vehicle identification number imprint, review the submitted documents and certificates, retrieve the license plate and vehicle registration certificate, determine a new license plate number, annotate the transfer details in the motor vehicle registration certificate, and reissue the license plate, registration certificate, and inspection compliance mark.
