How to Change a New Car License Plate If Unsatisfied?
2 Answers
If unsatisfied with a new car license plate, you can follow the approval process: apply to the local traffic management department for cancellation of the vehicle license plate, wait for approval, publish a notice of license plate cancellation after approval, and after the specified waiting period, you can bring all required documents to apply for a new license plate. However, this method is not only cumbersome but also requires considering the difficulty of reapplying for a new license plate. License plates, commonly known as vehicle tags, refer to the numbering and information registration of vehicles, on which the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information are engraved. The main purpose is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and to trace the vehicle's owner and registration information through the license plate.
I just bought a new car last year, and after getting it registered, the license plate number was 1688. I always felt that the number 8 was too tacky and didn’t like it. The next day, I went to the DMV to inquire, and the staff said that if you’re dissatisfied with the assigned license plate, you can apply to change it once, and the process is quite simple. Just bring the original ID card, a copy of the vehicle registration certificate, fill out an application form, pay a 120-yuan service fee, and wait three to five days for the new plate to be mailed. After the change, I also had to notify the insurance company to update the policy to avoid any issues in case of an accident. The whole process cost a little money and half a day, but it was totally worth it. I recommend new car owners to act while the iron is hot—if you’re not satisfied, just go for it. Otherwise, delaying it might affect your driving mood. The DMV is usually less crowded in the morning, and booking online can save you from queuing. Check the local official website in advance for requirements.
