How Long Can You Keep Your License Plate Number After Selling Your Car?

[McLilliana]

After selling your car, you can retain the license plate number for one year. If the old car is transferred or scrapped, the original owner who meets the requirement of having used the license plate number for at least one year can use the original license plate number when purchasing either a new car or a used car, or opt for a new license plate number. If the original owner does not apply to use the license plate number within one year, it will be returned to the selection pool and made available to the public. Notes on using the original license plate number: 1. If the identity information of the vehicle owner changes, before processing the transfer, cancellation, or relocation of the original vehicle, it is necessary to first complete the change registration at the vehicle management office. Only after completing these procedures can the original license plate number be used; 2. When purchasing a used car, the original license plate number can also be retained. There are clear regulations that vehicles can be bought and sold, but the license plate number belongs to the original owner and cannot be transferred.
