Do I Need to Go to the DMV After Picking Up the Car?
1 Answers
If the 4S dealership handles the license plate registration, you don't need to go. If you're doing it yourself, you will need to go, but it doesn't have to be on the same day; you can go a few days later. Preparation Before License Plate Registration: Before going to the DMV for license plate registration, you must have the vehicle's certificate of conformity, purchase invoice, and compulsory insurance policy (commercial insurance can be purchased after registration). Before processing the license plate registration at the DMV, you should make three copies each of your ID card, temporary residence permit (if applicable), vehicle certificate of conformity, purchase invoice, and compulsory insurance policy for backup. Paying the Purchase Tax: The purchase tax is paid at the purchase tax collection office. You will need to provide your ID card and a copy, the purchase invoice (tax filing copy), the original certificate of conformity and a copy, the tax declaration form, and for imported vehicles, the customs goods import certificate and a copy, and the commodity inspection certificate and a copy. After Guangzhou implemented the license plate quota system, you also need to print the vehicle purchase eligibility certificate before you can process the purchase tax payment.
