"A vehicle applying for cancellation of registration must have been under the owner's name for more than three years before its motor vehicle license plate can be canceled. Motor vehicle license plates cannot be replaced, but the original plate can be canceled, and a new plate can be applied for. After the motor vehicle registration is completed, the motor vehicle license plate must be used on the vehicle. If the license plate number is unsatisfactory, it cannot be changed at will. Vehicle license plates are standardized in format and style as stipulated by national vehicle management regulations. They are hard-numbered plates with registration codes issued by vehicle management authorities after reviewing, inspecting, and registering vehicles that have applied for plates. Once a license plate number is determined, it cannot be changed at will. Only when a motor vehicle undergoes transfer, archival change, or scrapping is it allowed to change the license plate. Other circumstances do not permit changes. Motor vehicle license plates cannot be replaced, but the original plate can be canceled, and a new plate can be applied for. To cancel a vehicle license plate, the vehicle's driving license must be taken to the traffic police department to apply. The vehicle applying for cancellation of registration must have been under the owner's name for more than three years. Only then can the motor vehicle license plate be canceled. The owner must bring their driving license, original and photocopy of ID card to the vehicle management office to fill out the motor vehicle license plate replacement application form, submit the original license plate, and pay the processing fee. According to regulations, the procedure for replacing a license plate is generally completed within one working day. Once a vehicle license plate is canceled, it cannot be retrieved, and a new vehicle license plate must be obtained."
