How to License a New Vehicle After Obtaining the Deregistration Certificate?
2 Answers
After obtaining the deregistration certificate, go directly to the vehicle management office to license the new vehicle and select the option to retain the original license plate number. Prepare the relevant documentation for the old vehicle model, then submit the application. Once approved, you can install the original license plate on the new vehicle. When licensing, write "Retain Original Number" in the upper right corner of the registration form and enter the original license plate number in the designated section of the form.
After obtaining the license plate surrender document, I recently went through the process of registering my new car, and it went quite smoothly. First, you need to prepare all the required materials, including your original ID card and a copy, the new car purchase invoice, the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the crucial license plate surrender document. It's best to drive to the local vehicle management office early, preferably on a weekday when it's less crowded. The staff will check the basic details of the vehicle, such as whether the engine number and chassis number match the new car invoice. Then, you'll fill out an application form and pay the registration fee and license plate production fee, which total a few hundred yuan. Once the vehicle inspection is passed, they will issue a temporary license plate for you to use immediately, and the official license plate will be mailed to your home in a few days. Remember, the license plate surrender document has a limited validity period, so don't delay too long. Booking an appointment online with the vehicle management office beforehand can save a lot of time and avoid long queues.
