How Long Can a License Plate Be Retained?

[PresleyMarie]

License plates can be retained for two years. The conditions for retaining a license plate are: 1. The original license plate must have been used for over one year, with a retention period of 2 years starting from the date of transfer or deregistration completion; 2. When a vehicle is transferred, relocated, or deregistered, the original license plate can also be applied for retention when purchasing a new or used car; 3. All traffic violations and accident settlements related to the vehicle must be resolved. Important notes regarding license plate retention: 1. The vehicle license plate can only be used by the original owner and cannot be transferred to others (except for spousal changes); 2. The application for plate retention must be submitted within the 1-year validity period, otherwise it cannot be processed; 3. In cases of vehicle ownership changes, such as inherited vehicles, purchasing used cars with highly desirable plates, or receiving vehicles as gifts from relatives/friends, the license plate cannot be transferred under these circumstances.
