Is a Temporary License Plate Valid Nationwide? Temporary license plates are categorized into different types, and not all temporary plates are valid nationwide. Regular temporary plates are only valid within the issuing city. Different types of temporary plates are distinguished by colors: a temporary vehicle plate with a light blue background, black characters, and black borders is only valid for motor vehicles operating within the issuing city, while a temporary vehicle plate with a brown-yellow background, black characters, and black borders is used for motor vehicles traveling across cities. The validity period of temporary plates is categorized into 15 days, 30 days, and 90 days, regardless of weekdays or holidays. For temporary travel within an administrative district, the blue temporary plate is valid for no more than 15 days; for temporary travel across administrative districts, the yellow temporary plate is valid for no more than 30 days. There are four types of temporary plates, including temporary plates for administrative districts, temporary plates for cross-administrative districts, temporary plates for testing purposes, and temporary plates for special motor vehicles.
