How to Enter a Parking Lot Without a License Plate for a New Car?

[McJonathan]

Methods for entering a parking lot without a license plate for a new car are: 1. Unlicensed vehicles require staff assistance for verification and entry; 2. Some automated license plate recognition parking lots without staff may have a manual option—press it to gain entry; 3. For parking lots that rely on automated license plate recognition machines to lift the barrier, temporary license plates cannot be recognized by the machine. Without security personnel, entry is impossible in such cases; 4. In parking lots that use automated license plate recognition machines to lift the barrier, if security personnel are present, you can register with them to enter. License plates, commonly referred to as vehicle tags, are plates affixed to the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information.

Last time I bought a new car without license plates, entering parking lots was indeed a bit of a headache. Most parking lots rely on automatic license plate recognition to open the gate, so without plates, you can't get in. My solution was to bring the car purchase invoice and temporary vehicle documents to the security guard for manual registration of the license plate number. They usually create a temporary access record and let me drive in. Alternatively, some residential parking systems support manual license plate entry—just report it to the duty officer. If the entrance is too busy, I’d park nearby and call the property office, describing the car’s color, model, and a temporary code, and they’d remotely open the gate, which is quite convenient. It’s important to promptly apply for formal license plates to avoid being mistaken for an unregistered vehicle and fined. I’ve made it a habit to stick a temporary license plate paper on the front of the car—simple and effective, preventing minor hassles. The key is not to force your way in, as damaging the equipment would be a big loss. Safety first! During the new car’s break-in period, paying attention to these small details ensures smoother entry and exit at various places.
