Does a white car with Aurora White wrap need registration?
2 Answers
White cars with Aurora White wraps require registration, as stipulated by the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China. Scenarios requiring registration: Changing the body color of a motor vehicle; the owner of the motor vehicle must apply for modification registration with the traffic management department of the public security authority where the vehicle is registered. Required documents: To apply for motor vehicle modification registration, the following documents and certificates must be submitted: Documents: Identity proof of the motor vehicle owner; motor vehicle registration certificate; motor vehicle license. No unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter the registered structure, construction, or features of a motor vehicle without authorization.
If you apply Dawn White car wrap on a white car, the key is whether the color changes noticeably. According to vehicle registration regulations, any body color alteration exceeding 30% of the original color requires filing, but applying a white film on a white base may not need it due to minimal change. After application, measure the color difference or take photos for comparison. If the difference is significant, promptly visit the DMV to submit your driver's license, ID card, and fill out forms to update the registration, avoiding fines or insurance issues. The benefits of wrapping include protecting the original paint and UV resistance, but compliance comes first. Regulations vary by city—my area is relatively lenient, but a friend in a southern city was checked for a similar wrap and spent some time completing the filing. Prioritize safe driving; when unsure, check local traffic laws online or call an expert for advice.
