Is it mandatory to obtain a temporary license plate on the same day when purchasing a new car?

[VanDaniela]

Purchasing a new car does not require obtaining a temporary license plate on the same day. You can directly register the vehicle as long as you have the certificate of conformity. Here are some important notes about temporary license plates: 1. Temporary license plates have an expiration period, typically around 7 days. When picking up the car, some 4S dealerships can assist you in printing a temporary license plate on-site, while others cannot, requiring you to visit the local vehicle management office to obtain one. 2. Pay attention to the driving area specified on the temporary license plate. If the temporary plate is only valid within the province, you must not drive out of the province. If caught by traffic police outside the permitted area, you will face point deductions and fines. 3. On the day before the temporary license plate expires, you must either apply for a new temporary plate or visit the vehicle management office to register for a permanent license plate. Otherwise, driving with an expired temporary plate will be considered unlicensed driving, resulting in point deductions and fines.
