How Long Can a 2021 License Plate Be Retained?

[SanMaddox]

2021 license plates can be retained for two years. Here are the relevant details: Vehicle deregistration: After transfer or relocation (change of ownership), the retention period for the original license plate number is extended to two years. This means that within two years after the vehicle transaction, the original license plate number will not be returned to the number pool. Moreover, the new regulations have also relaxed the requirements for the usage period of vehicle license plates. Previously, a license plate had to be used for more than three years to be eligible for retention, but under the new rules, it only needs to be used for more than one year to apply for retention. Application requirements: The vehicle owner must have used the license plate for more than one year. The application must be submitted within six months after completing the transfer or deregistration process. All traffic violations and accident liabilities related to the original vehicle must be resolved.
