Most temporary license plates in Beijing have a validity period of 7 days and can be issued up to three times. The following is an introduction to temporary driving license plates: 1. Paper license plates that permit temporary road driving: Also known as temporary driving license plates, these are temporary vehicle driving permits issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau for newly purchased vehicles before official registration. 2. Validity period of temporary license plates: Generally not exceeding thirty days, they are categorized into temporary license plates for administrative districts, cross-administrative district temporary license plates, temporary license plates for testing purposes, and temporary license plates for special vehicles. 3. Temporary license plates have time and regional limitations: They can be applied for at the local vehicle management office under any of the following conditions, including when driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to the place of use, requiring application for a temporary license plate at the vehicle management office of the purchase location; when transferring vehicle registration and having surrendered the official license plate, requiring application for a temporary license plate at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location; when a new vehicle in the local area that has not obtained an official license plate needs to be driven to another location for modification, requiring application for a temporary license plate locally, and after modification is completed, applying for a temporary license plate at the modification location to drive back to the original area; when a vehicle purchased locally needs to be driven to another location, requiring application for a temporary license plate locally to drive to the other location; and when a vehicle without a fixed registration needs temporary testing.
The year I bought my car, I also got a temporary license plate in Beijing, and I remember it was only valid for 15 days, which was really tight. From the day you get it, you have to hurry up and apply for a formal license plate, otherwise you won't be able to drive once it expires, and you might even get fined. Applying for a temporary plate is quite simple; you can do it at the 4S shop or the DMV, just bring your car purchase invoice and ID card. Within 15 days, you must complete all the procedures, such as getting insurance and having the car inspected. If you're caught driving with an expired temporary plate on the road, the police will deduct points and impose fines directly—Beijing is quite strict with its management. It's advisable to plan your schedule in advance and not delay; 15 days is just two weeks, and it passes in the blink of an eye, so make sure to arrange everything properly to avoid any mishaps.
The validity period of a temporary license plate in Beijing is typically 15 days, which is quite useful for beginners. My friend just bought a new car and used it. You can drive on the road immediately after obtaining the temporary plate, but once the 15 days are up, you must replace it with a formal license plate, otherwise, you may be stopped by traffic police and have your vehicle impounded. The application process is quick with the required materials, and you just need to complete the remaining procedures within the 15 days. Additionally, these 15 days are counted consecutively from the date of issuance, including weekends and holidays. The consequences of exceeding the deadline are troublesome, such as a fine of several hundred yuan or affecting your credit. It's best to check the processing time before buying a car to ensure efficient handling within the 15 days, making it worry-free and safe.
