How to Handle an Expired Temporary License Plate?

[MacFrancisco]

Here are the methods to handle an expired temporary license plate: 1. For new vehicles: The temporary license plate for a new vehicle cannot be used for more than 15 days. The owner should promptly apply for a formal license plate from the vehicle management authority. If the formal license plate has not arrived, another temporary license plate must be obtained, but each vehicle can only have a maximum of 3 temporary license plates. 2. For non-new vehicles with an expired temporary license plate: If the temporary license plate expires and cannot be registered, the owner must return to the local area to complete the registration within 30 days. Alternatively, they can reapply for a temporary license plate, which is generally valid for 15 days. The owner should apply for a formal license plate within the validity period of the temporary license plate. 3. Regarding extensions: A local temporary license plate can be extended up to three times, allowing a total usage period of 21 days. During this period, the vehicle can only be driven within the city and must not leave the region; otherwise, it will be treated as an unlicensed vehicle. The procedure for extending the validity period of a temporary license plate is the same as the initial application. The owner can apply for a temporary license plate from the public security authority by providing identification, the vehicle purchase invoice, the new vehicle certificate, the compulsory traffic insurance certificate, or import certificates and copies of related documents. During the application, the owner should specify the start and end locations of the vehicle's travel and the duration of the temporary license plate usage.
