A stamp is not required on the vehicle license when a new car reaches two years. The function of the vehicle license: The vehicle license is the legal document that permits a motor vehicle to drive on roads within China, and it can also serve as valid identification for hospital registrations, train ticket purchases, and other services. The vehicle license records the license plate number, vehicle type, the owner's personal (or organizational) name, address, vehicle brand and model, and usage nature. The vehicle license serves as proof of road driving authorization, proof of vehicle ownership, and a document for insurance claims. Composition of the vehicle license: The vehicle license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. It is issued by the vehicle management center and is used to verify the authenticity of vehicle information. The front of the main page contains the endorsed core certificate, the back displays the vehicle photo, and the supplementary page includes the endorsed core certificate.
Last time when my car just turned two years old, I made a special trip to the vehicle management office, only for the staff to laugh and say I had made a wasted trip. Now the policy has changed—new cars within six years no longer need a stamp on the vehicle license, but don’t celebrate too soon, as you still need to apply for the electronic inspection mark on time. I did mine through the Traffic Management 12123 app—uploaded the insurance policy photo and received the electronic mark within two hours. A reminder to everyone: make sure to clear any traffic violations before applying. Once, I was stuck for a week because of an unprocessed speeding ticket and had to rush at the last minute to get it done. You’ll receive an SMS reminder on your phone half a month before the deadline, so remember to apply early to avoid affecting your normal driving.
