How soon can old license plates be transferred to a new car?

[NathanLynn]

Old license plates can be used for a new car within 1 to 5 working days. Application for using old license plates on a new car: During the new vehicle registration process, you can use the motor vehicle license plates retained from your old car. This requires completing the transfer of the old car first to retain the license plates. After purchasing the new car, directly apply to the vehicle management office or traffic management department of the public security authority for usage. Consequences of losing license plates: If motor vehicle license plates are lost, the vehicle cannot be driven on the road. Driving without plates is illegal and will result in a full 12-point deduction on the driver's license, along with vehicle impoundment. Before driving, always ensure license plates are properly installed.
