Is it necessary to change the license plate number when transferring a car?

[LaSarah]

When transferring a car, it is mandatory to change the license plate number. According to relevant regulations, while the vehicle can apply for transfer procedures, the license plate is not allowed to be transferred. During the vehicle transfer process, all previous traffic violations must be resolved, and the vehicle must pass inspection. If the vehicle is transferred for a second transaction, the license plate number must be changed, with the original number automatically retained by the system for 6 months. After completing the transfer registration or cancellation registration of a motor vehicle, the original owner can apply to use the original license plate number when registering the transfer, provided the following conditions are met: 1. The application must be submitted within one year after the transfer or cancellation registration; 2. The original owner must have owned the vehicle for more than one year; 3. All traffic violations and accidents involving the original vehicle must be resolved.
