2 Answers
To change the license plate number of a motor vehicle, you need to apply to the local traffic management department for the cancellation of the vehicle's license plate. After that, you must publish a notice in the newspaper declaring the cancellation of the license plate. Once the waiting period is over, you can bring the required documents to apply for a new license plate. Below are the detailed steps for changing the license plate number of a motor vehicle: 1. Cancel the license plate: The vehicle's license plate can be canceled, but the vehicle for which the cancellation is being processed must have been registered under the owner's name for more than three years. 2. Submit the replacement application: Bring the original and photocopies of the vehicle registration certificate and ID card to the vehicle management office, fill out the application form for license plate replacement, submit the original license plate, and then pay the processing fee. 3. Pay relevant taxes and fees: You need to pay relevant taxes and fees equivalent to 2% of the vehicle's depreciated value.
I just went through the license plate replacement process, which involves these steps: First, go to the DMV to get a "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form", remember to bring the original and a copy of your ID card. Second, drive your car to the inspection area to queue up for photos and rubbing the VIN number - this step is particularly important, as the technician in the yellow vest will carefully verify the chassis number and engine number. Third, take the inspection sheet to the counter to complete the formalities, where the staff will collect and destroy the old license plate by cutting its corners. Fourth, select a new number on the spot - it's recommended to pre-select on the 12123 APP in advance to save half an hour. Finally, pay a 130 yuan fee (including the new plate and vehicle license), and you can get your fresh license plate after waiting two hours. Note: Modified vehicles must be restored to their original condition beforehand, otherwise they won't pass the inspection.
