How Long Can an Old License Plate Be Retained?

[VanessaLee]

Vehicle owners can retain their original license plate after one year of use, with a maximum retention period of one year. Additional details regarding license plate retention are as follows: 1. Non-transferable: If you do not wish to retain the license plate, it cannot be traded during the vehicle transfer process. Regulations explicitly state: motor vehicles can be bought and sold, but the vehicle license plate belongs to the original owner and cannot be transferred. 2. Retaining the original license plate: You may apply to retain the license plate when transferring, deregistering, relocating the vehicle, or when purchasing a used or new car. The retention period for the original license plate begins from the date the vehicle completes the transfer or deregistration process. 3. Clearing traffic violation records: All traffic violation records associated with the original vehicle must be cleared before retaining the license plate.
