Does Applying a Matte Car Wrap Require Registration?
1 Answers
Applying a matte car wrap requires registration due to the significant change in appearance. Below are the details: Reasons for registration: According to current vehicle registration regulations, if the area of color change does not exceed 30% of the vehicle's surface, registration for modification is not required. However, if the color change exceeds 30%, registration at the vehicle management office is mandatory. Although a matte car wrap is not a color-changing film, its semi-transparent and semi-matte appearance significantly alters the vehicle's look, thus requiring registration. Of course, if a glossy car wrap is applied, registration is not needed. Registration considerations: When registering, you must bring the original and a copy of the vehicle owner's ID, the vehicle registration certificate, and the vehicle license. It is essential to apply the wrap first and then register—drive the matte-wrapped vehicle to the registration office. This is because the registration process involves taking on-site photos of the vehicle's altered appearance for documentation; without the wrap applied, registration cannot be completed. Registration must be completed within 10 days (note: not 10 working days) after applying the matte car wrap to obtain the new certificate.
