Is the Temporary License Plate Still Valid After the Metal Plate Arrives?

[StBrantley]

According to traffic regulations, once the official license plate is issued, the temporary license plate becomes invalid. If caught by traffic police with a temporary plate after the official one has arrived, you will face point deductions and fines. Therefore, the metal plate should be mounted immediately to avoid penalties. Car registration process: Apart from the car insurance handled by the 4S shop and the vehicle purchase tax paid at the State Taxation Bureau, other procedures are completed at the Vehicle Management Office. If all documents and materials are prepared and there is no queue at the Vehicle Management Office, the registration process only takes 1-3 hours. Consequences of not using the official license plate: After the official license plate is produced, it will be mailed via EMS or collected in person. Even if the temporary license plate has not expired when the official one arrives, the temporary plate can no longer be used. Once the official license plate is received, regardless of whether the temporary plate has expired, it becomes invalid. Failing to mount the official license plate promptly will result in a 12-point deduction and a fine.
