Is a Driver's License Required for Vehicle Registration?

[DiSara]

There is no mandatory requirement to have a driver's license for vehicle registration. The purpose of registration is to confirm the legal owner of the motor vehicle, which is unrelated to whether the owner holds a driver's license. Many cities, such as Shanghai and Beijing, have implemented license plate restriction policies to control the growth rate of vehicles. Some places use a lottery system, while others employ a bidding system for license plates. However, both methods impose higher qualification requirements on applicants, and a driver's license may become one of the application conditions. The relationship between having a driver's license and the ability to purchase a car and register it cannot be generalized. It depends on whether the specific region where registration is desired has relevant requirements, as this is not uniformly regulated nationwide.
