Should the License Plate Be Removed When Selling a Car?
1 Answers
Selling a car requires the license plate to be removed, as the plate cannot be transferred with the vehicle. After selling the car, the new owner must select a new license plate number. However, if the original owner meets certain conditions, they can apply to retain the old license plate. Retaining the original plate allows the owner to skip the lottery process for a new plate when purchasing another vehicle. Instead, they simply need to apply for an update at the vehicle management office within six months of obtaining the renewal quota. Requirements for retaining the original license plate: 1. The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation of registration; 2. The original owner must have owned the vehicle for at least three years; 3. All traffic violations and accidents related to the original vehicle must be resolved.
