How to Apply for License Plate Quota Extension?
3 Answers
Log in to the system and enter the user center. Click on the application form in the quota configuration function area, where you can see the prompt information about the validity period on the page. Within the validity period, the confirmation extension button shown on the page will be clickable, with each validity period lasting 3 months. If the confirmation extension is not clicked within the validity period, the system will automatically cancel the application.
I just went through the license plate quota extension last year when my quota was about to expire because I hadn’t won the lottery to buy a car. First, log in to the local DMV’s official website to check the specific extension process. Prepare your ID card, the original quota certificate, and a car purchase intent letter (if available). Go directly to the service window on-site and queue up—remember to bring all photocopies, or you’ll have to make multiple trips. Approval usually takes a few days, and if successful, the quota’s validity period will be updated in the system. Nowadays, many places support mobile app applications—just upload the documents, which is much more convenient. If you don’t handle it before the quota expires, you might face a fine. It’s best to go early on a weekday to avoid long queues and delays.
My neighbor is an experienced veteran driver. He said that the extension of the license plate quota cannot be delayed. Once it's about to expire, you need to take action immediately. First, check the city's traffic management regulations, as rules vary by city. For example, in Beijing, you need to fill out an application form on the traffic management bureau's website. Not many materials are required: personal ID, car purchase quota certificate, and a written explanation for the extension. After submission, wait for approval, which usually takes about a week. Remember to make copies of the documents in advance and don't forget to pay the small processing fee, which is just a few dozen yuan. Once the extension is approved, the quota's validity period can be extended for another year, which is quite practical. If you're too busy, you can delegate a family member to handle it for you, but they must bring your authorization letter and both parties' identification documents. Don't find it troublesome—handling this small matter properly can save you from future troubles when buying a car.
