Is the Vehicle Registration Date the Same as the Purchase Date?

[DelBeau]

Vehicle registration date is not the same as the purchase date. The reason is: the vehicle registration date refers to the date when the vehicle is first licensed, as verified by the vehicle type, registration date, and annual inspection deadline printed on the vehicle registration certificate. This date refers to the date when the owner applies for registration at the local vehicle management office after purchasing a new vehicle. The materials required for vehicle registration include: 1. Proof of identity of the vehicle owner; 2. Proof of origin of the vehicle, such as the purchase invoice; 3. Proof of vehicle factory qualification or import certificate for imported vehicles; 4. Proof of payment of vehicle purchase tax or tax exemption certificate; 5. Proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance for motor vehicles.
