One should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the car, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, and the other should be placed on the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the car. Here is more related information: 1. A temporary license plate is a paper motor vehicle license plate that permits temporary road use of the vehicle, issued by the vehicle management department of the public security authority before the vehicle is officially registered. 2. There are clear regulations that new cars on the road must display the temporary license plate in a conspicuous position on the front windshield to ensure that road surveillance can clearly monitor vehicles with temporary plates. 3. When driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to the place of use, it is necessary to apply for a temporary license plate at the vehicle management office in the place of purchase.
When buying a new car, what I care about most is how to place the temporary license plate in a way that is both compliant and hassle-free. I’ve had bad experiences before—fined for improper placement. Actually, it’s quite simple. Once you get the temporary plate, immediately stick it on the lower right corner of the front windshield, preferably near the driver’s side for clear visibility. Don’t forget to place an identical one on the lower left of the rear window. Never randomly stick it on the front bumper or dashboard, as it can easily fall off or block your view, compromising safety. When attaching it, press firmly with the adhesive tape provided to prevent it from being blown or washed away. Temporary plates are only valid for 30 days, so securing them properly will give you peace of mind when driving. Oh, and after placing it, take a photo as a backup—just in case it falls off someday, you’ll have proof.
