Does changing the license plate without changing the owner affect insurance?

Changing the license plate without changing the owner does not affect insurance. If the vehicle's license plate is changed but the owner remains the same, you only need to provide the new vehicle registration certificate to the original insurance company as soon as possible after obtaining it, and then receive the insurance endorsement. If you only change the owner without changing the license plate, the following conditions must be met: the owner must apply to the vehicle management office within one year after completing the transfer or cancellation registration; the new owner must have had the right to use the old vehicle for more than one year; the original owner must have no outstanding traffic violations or unresolved traffic accidents; the original license plate can be used by the original owner on a new vehicle or on a used vehicle, but it is prohibited for others to use it. Vehicle transfer refers to changing the name of the vehicle's owner. When purchasing a used car, in addition to checking the vehicle's condition, you also need to complete the transfer procedures. According to regulations, if you want to retain the license plate, you must first complete the transfer or cancellation registration, transferring the old vehicle to someone else; you can also apply for scrapping and, within six months, submit an application to the vehicle management office to retain the original license plate number with the relevant documents of the new vehicle, and surrender the old license plate.
