How Long Can a License Plate Number Be Retained After Selling a Car?

[McOwen]

After selling a car, the license plate number can be retained for 6 months. The original owner of a scrapped vehicle or a second-hand car can retain the original license plate as long as they meet the relevant requirements. The requirements for retaining the original license plate are as follows: 1. Apply within six months after completing the transfer or cancellation registration; 2. The vehicle owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years; 3. All traffic violations and accidents related to the original vehicle must be resolved. A car license plate is a hard-numbered plate with a registration code issued by the vehicle management authority after reviewing, inspecting, and registering a car that has applied for a license plate, as stipulated by the relevant national vehicle management departments with a unified format and style.
