Does transferring a motorcycle with its license plate affect the original owner?
1 Answers
Motorcycles can be transferred, but the license plate cannot. The motorcycle license plate cannot be transferred to another person. When the vehicle is transferred, the vehicle management office will cancel the original license plate and registration certificate, and issue new ones to the new owner. If the original owner has held the motorcycle license plate for at least three years, they can apply to retain the plate when transferring the vehicle. During the retention period, if the owner purchases a new vehicle, they can also apply to use the retained license plate. Relevant regulations: According to traffic management regulations, license plates are state-owned property and do not belong to any individual or group. Vehicle owners only have the right to use the license plate, not ownership, so it cannot be transferred with the vehicle. Precautions for motorcycle transfer: If consumers want to buy a used motorcycle, they should have some understanding of the motorcycle's documentation. Some consumers may choose to buy motorcycles with incomplete documentation or those that cannot be transferred in order to save money, but this can be disadvantageous to both the buyer and the seller.
