How to Obtain a Vehicle License?
2 Answers
Below are the methods to obtain a vehicle license: 1. Imported Vehicles: For the initial application of a vehicle license, the vehicle owner must apply for registration at the local vehicle management office. The owner should fill out the application form, present the vehicle for inspection, and submit relevant documents and proofs. 2. Non-imported Vehicles: For vehicles not imported through customs and those exempt from safety technical inspections as specified by the competent authority of the State Council's automotive product department, a safety technical inspection certificate must also be submitted. The vehicle management office should, within two days of accepting the application, verify the vehicle, check the vehicle identification number imprint, review the submitted documents and proofs, and issue the vehicle registration certificate, license plate, vehicle license, and inspection compliance mark.
Speaking of how to get a vehicle license, I went through this process when I bought my new car. Simply put, after purchasing a car, you must go to the local vehicle management office to handle it. You need to bring the original purchase invoice, a copy of your ID card, the vehicle's certificate of conformity or import certificate, and the compulsory traffic insurance policy—these are the basic materials. At the vehicle management office, first, queue up to fill out forms. The staff will check if your car comes from a legitimate source. Then, there's the vehicle inspection—you drive your car to the inspection area where they check the exterior, headlights, brakes, etc. If everything is fine, they take photos for the records. After that, you pay a registration fee and wait a few days to receive your vehicle license. The whole process is quite tedious, so it's advisable to go early to avoid peak hours because the queues can be long. Once you get the license, you must affix the inspection sticker on your car; otherwise, you might get into trouble if stopped by the police.
