Does the new car license plate registration require the owner to be present?

New car license plate registration can be handled by someone else on behalf of the owner, and it is not mandatory for the owner to be present in person. However, the provided ID card must match the name and ID number on the invoice of the car owner. Process for registering a new car at the DMV: Before going to the DMV for license plate registration, you need to complete the insurance and vehicle purchase tax procedures. Then, proceed to the data collection window in the new car registration hall at the DMV. Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Registration/Transfer Application Form" and submit the documents to the clerk at the collection window. The clerk will organize the documents and direct you to a designated window to pay the service fee. Next is the inspection line. If the vehicle is exempt from inspection, this step can be skipped. For non-exempt vehicles, an inspection is required, covering aspects such as power, lights, emissions, and brakes. The next step is the license plate selection process. Log in to the traffic management bureau's website, select the online self-service license plate selection system, and enter the owner's name, ID number or organization code, vehicle identification number (VIN), and invoice number. After verification, you can query and select the license plate according to the rules. (Online self-service license plate selection requires support from the local DMV.) After selecting the license plate, the staff will print the vehicle license plate receipt, and you will need to pay a certain fee. After waiting for a period, you will receive the vehicle registration certificate and the motor vehicle registration certificate. After obtaining these documents, make copies and proceed to the relevant section of the DMV to pay the annual vehicle and vessel tax. Finally, wait for the new license plate to arrive and install it. Required documents for motor vehicle registration can be referred to as follows: Documents required for motor vehicle registration include the motor vehicle registration application form (to be collected and filled out), a copy of the compulsory insurance, the car purchase invoice (registration copy), criminal investigation receipt, original ID card and its copy, original certificate of conformity, and for non-local residents, a mobile population information registration form and the purchase tax appendix.
