The process of vehicle license plate registration is as follows: 1. Prepare the required documents: Four copies of the car purchase invoice, with one copy of the first page; the original vehicle qualification certificate, two copies, and a stamped number; two car photos; ID card, two copies, and a residence permit for non-local residents; two copies of the purchase tax declaration form. 2. Pay the vehicle purchase tax: Go to the vehicle purchase tax service hall, submit the documents and two copies of the purchase tax declaration form, a copy of the first page of the invoice, and the original third page of the invoice. After the staff reviews and registers, pay by card, and you will receive a tax payment receipt and a tax certificate (original and duplicate, the duplicate is useful at the DMV). 3. Vehicle inspection at the DMV: Go to the DMV and ask the staff at the entrance for an "Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form," then drive the car to the inspection area and submit the form to the staff. 4. Purchase insurance: Choose an insurance policy at the counter. First, present the original ID card, tax payment receipt, and qualification certificate for review. After approval, you will receive an insurance policy to fill out according to the example on the table. 5. License plate registration: Return to the DMV hall, submit all documents to the counter at the entrance, and have the relevant materials bound. Submit the bound materials, ID card (residence permit or number), and a copy of the car invoice at the window, then take the receipt to the adjacent mailing window for submission. The mailing window will provide a mailing form, which you should fill out and submit, keeping the duplicate and the number selection form to wait. Then, go to the license collection window to submit the number selection form and payment receipt, and collect the vehicle license, temporary plate, and motor vehicle registration certificate.
The purchase tax is definitely paid when registering the license plate, I remember it clearly. Last year when I helped my nephew buy a car, we went to the DMV together to complete the procedures. You must pay the purchase tax before registering the plate - without the tax payment certificate, they simply won't process your application. The tax rate is 10% of the vehicle price. For example, a 150,000 yuan car would incur about 15,000 yuan in taxes. The payment location might be at the tax bureau or a one-stop service point at the DMV, depending on regional arrangements. I recommend acting promptly after purchasing the car - get it done within 15 days, otherwise late fees will apply. Remember to bring the car purchase invoice and a copy of your ID card for payment. The process is quite fast, but don't forget any documents. After registration, you can legally drive on the road. Otherwise, driving an unlicensed vehicle risks getting caught and causing serious trouble, so don't skip this step.
