Is the Vehicle Conformity Certificate returned after license plate registration?

The vehicle conformity certificate will not be returned after license plate registration. Here are the specific details: 1. Introduction to the Certificate: The conformity certificate is an important document for a vehicle and is required for vehicle registration. Only vehicles with a conformity certificate meet the national standards for motor vehicle equipment quality and related requirements. The vehicle registration documents will be kept on file at the vehicle management office. 2. New Vehicles Without License Plates: If you currently have a new vehicle without a license plate, you can only report the situation to the manufacturer. The manufacturer will send another copy by mail at no cost, but this must be arranged directly by the car dealership where the vehicle was purchased. 3. Additional Information: The vehicle conformity certificate can be used to verify whether the vehicle matches its brand, check the engine number, chassis number, product conformity certificate, manufacturing date, and other unique legal identifiers of the vehicle. It helps determine the manufacturing date and whether the vehicle is overstocked, as well as the time from production to sale. The numbers on the conformity certificate must match the engine number and chassis number on the vehicle.

I've bought several cars, and I remember that the Certificate of Conformity was never returned to me after each registration. It's like the vehicle's birth certificate, proving that the car left the factory without any issues. During registration, the DMV takes it to verify the information and archives it in the system. After that, it's either stored or destroyed, and what the owner keeps are the new license plates and the vehicle registration certificate. I think it's a bit of a shame since it's an important document, but this process helps prevent counterfeiting risks. If the original is lost and needs to be reissued, it's quite a hassle, so I always remind myself to make a copy before registration as a backup. Also, there might be slight differences in different places, but this is the general process in big cities.

Having worked in vehicle management for years, I understand that the Certificate of Conformity is generally not returned after license plate registration. The reason is that it is used during the registration process to confirm the vehicle's compliance, and upon completion, it is archived by the registration authority as a record reference. As vehicle owners, we only receive the license plate registration certificate and the vehicle license. It is advisable to scan or take photos to store an electronic copy before picking up the car to avoid future disputes. This practice ensures the uniformity of vehicle information but also raises concerns about privacy, though the official system is secure. After registration, any issues can be addressed by consulting the local vehicle management office to access the records.

When I bought a new car last month, the salesperson told me the Certificate of Conformity wouldn't be returned after license plate registration. I was quite surprised, but he explained it's a mandatory document for registration and would be archived after completion. As a new car owner, I immediately took photos as backup since it records vehicle model parameters and other details. Later, I found the vehicle license alone was sufficient – driving has been smooth with no concerns about forgery. If the original certificate gets lost, replacement requires some legwork, so advance backup is crucial. From my experience, the entire plate registration process was straightforward and efficient.

As a seasoned car enthusiast, I know that the Certificate of Conformity is usually held back after registration. It serves as the factory proof, and once verified by the DMV during registration, it's stored in the archives or destroyed, with only the vehicle license returned to the owner. This arrangement helps prevent black market transactions. However, I'd like to remind all car owners: make sure to photograph the certificate details, including the VIN and engine number, on the day you pick up the car. You'll need this information for future maintenance or when selling the vehicle, such as checking service records. Overall, these rules are designed for security purposes, and cooperating with them makes our lives easier.
