Is it allowed to drive without temporary license plates?
1 Answers
Driving without temporary license plates is not allowed, otherwise you will be fined and receive 12 penalty points. After purchasing a new car, the owner must complete the motor vehicle registration procedures or apply for temporary license plates as soon as possible. Before driving on the road, the owner can apply for temporary license plates from the traffic management department of the public security authority (vehicle management office) by providing documents such as ID proof, vehicle purchase invoice, new vehicle certificate, compulsory traffic insurance certificate or import certificate, and copies of relevant documents. Temporary license plates are paper motor vehicle plates that allow temporary driving on the road, issued by the vehicle management department of the public security authority for newly purchased vehicles before formal registration. The validity period of temporary license plates generally does not exceed 30 days, and there are four types in total: temporary license plates for administrative districts, temporary license plates for cross-administrative districts, temporary license plates for testing purposes, and temporary license plates for special motor vehicles.
