3 Answers
To complete new vehicle registration procedures, you need to obtain the vehicle certificate of conformity, keep the triplicate purchase invoice; pay the vehicle purchase tax and obtain the tax certificate; prepare various documents, register and inspect the vehicle at the vehicle management office; select the vehicle license plate number; after paying the fee, wait to receive the license plate, etc. The following are the detailed steps: 1. Obtain the vehicle certificate of conformity and keep the triplicate purchase invoice: The vehicle certificate of conformity is very important. Currently, some car 4S stores delay handing over the certificate, which may postpone the registration. Therefore, you should obtain the vehicle certificate of conformity as soon as possible by communicating firmly with the 4S store. After purchasing the car, the 4S store will issue a triplicate purchase invoice, which must be kept as it will be used in the subsequent registration process. The invoice consists of red, yellow, and blue copies, generally the red and blue copies are submitted, while the yellow copy is kept by the buyer. 2. Pay the vehicle purchase tax and obtain the tax certificate: After purchasing the vehicle, you should pay the vehicle purchase tax as soon as possible, usually at the nearest vehicle management office. After successfully paying the tax, you will receive the tax certificate, which should be kept safely. 3. Prepare various documents, register and inspect the vehicle at the vehicle management office: Prepare the original and photocopy of your ID card in advance. Non-local residents need to provide the original and photocopy of their temporary residence permit. With all the documents ready, you can go to the vehicle management office to register and apply for a license plate. First, a specialized traffic police officer will inspect the vehicle, mainly checking the vehicle identification code, vehicle appearance, and the vehicle's warning triangle plate, which should be prepared in advance. 4. Select the vehicle license plate number: After the vehicle inspection, you can go to the vehicle management office hall to choose a license plate number. Generally, there are two options: self-selection or random selection. Additionally, most regions now offer online license plate selection. 5. Pay the fee and wait to receive the license plate: After selecting the number, pay the fee and wait for the license plate, which usually takes three to five working days to receive.
I just got my new car licensed last week. First, I had to go to the tax office to pay the purchase tax, remembering to bring the car purchase invoice, ID card, and the original vehicle qualification certificate. After obtaining the tax payment certificate, I drove to the DMV for the vehicle inspection. It's important to note that the car must not have any tinted film or modifications, keeping it in its original factory condition. During the inspection, they check if the chassis number imprint is clear, which is usually prepared in advance by the 4S store. After the inspection, I queued up at the hall to get a number and submitted all the materials to the staff for review, including the compulsory insurance policy and a copy of my ID card. Finally, I selected the license plate number on the self-service machine. Nowadays, you can also pre-select a number on the Traffic Management 12123 App in advance. After selecting the number, I paid a 130 yuan fee on-site and received the metal plate within two hours. If all the materials are complete, the entire process can be completed in half a day.
When I was responsible for handling the license plate for our family's new car last year, I found that the most crucial part was preparing the materials. You must organize the fourth copy of the car purchase invoice, the vehicle qualification certificate, copies of both sides of the owner's ID card, the duplicate copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and most importantly, the blue tax payment certificate. It's recommended to put all the materials in a document bag to avoid chaos on-site. I arrived at the DMV by 8 a.m., and being in the first batch for vehicle inspection saved a lot of time. The staff will use reflective vests placed on the ground for photos, so remember to clean the rear windshield in advance and place the warning triangle in the trunk. For selecting the license plate number, you can either choose randomly by machine or customize it. I recommend pre-selecting on the Traffic Management 12123 app to pick a desirable number. Finally, when receiving the vehicle registration certificate, double-check the engine number—any errors can only be corrected on the spot.
