2 Answers
The validity period of a temporary license plate does not exceed thirty days. Vehicle owners should promptly apply to the vehicle management authority for the use of formal license plates. After expiration, they may face penalties including vehicle impoundment, a fine of 200 yuan, and a deduction of 3 points. Relevant information about license plates is as follows: Introduction: License plates, commonly known as vehicle tags, refer to the plates attached to the front and rear of a vehicle, which bear the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. Function: License plates serve as a numbering and information registration system for vehicles. Their primary function is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and to trace the vehicle's owner and registration details through the license plate.
Attention to friends who just bought a new car and are handling temporary license plates! The regular temporary plates can be used for up to 1 month and come in two types: the blue-framed ones are for driving within the city, valid for a maximum of 15 days; the yellow-framed ones allow inter-provincial travel, valid for up to 30 days. The countdown starts from the day you pick up the car—don’t exceed the deadline. Last time, my neighbor got 12 points deducted and had to retake the written test because his temporary plates expired—what a loss! For new energy vehicles, some areas even offer an additional 15-day extension. Remember to properly affix them to the lower right corner of the front windshield and the lower left corner of the rear windshield. Don’t remove the plastic film, or else the traffic police might see it, but the system won’t register it, which could be troublesome.
