Does a new car without license plates have a vehicle license?
2 Answers
A new car without license plates does not have a vehicle license. Additional information is as follows: 1. License plates: License plates, commonly known as tags, refer to vehicle registration plates, which are plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. 2. Vehicle license: The motor vehicle license is the legal document that permits a motor vehicle to drive on roads within the country. The vehicle license consists of three parts: the document, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed certificate core, while the back features a photo of the vehicle, sealed in plastic. The supplementary page is the endorsed certificate core.
When I first got my car, I also thought the temporary license plate was the vehicle registration certificate. It wasn’t until I was stopped by traffic police that I understood the difference. Before the official license plate is issued, you can only apply for a temporary plate—this piece of paper acts as a temporary ID, lacking key details like the VIN or engine number. The vehicle registration must be the blue booklet issued by the DMV along with the metal plate, containing the owner’s info, vehicle specs, and inspection records. Back then, I foolishly carried the temp plate in my pocket and drove off, only for the officer to tell me it had to be displayed on the lower right corner of the windshield to be valid—earning me a warning. Nowadays, the plate registration process is much faster, usually completed within three days, granting both the metal plate and registration. Just remember not to leave the city while using a temporary plate, or it might become invalid.
