Tianjin has many rules for self-selected license plate numbers. Here is a detailed introduction to the specific rules: 1. Selection method: The self-selected small car license plate (referring to the five-digit number after Yue C) is selected as follows: The first character is an English letter from D to Z excluding I and O, the second character is an English letter from A to Z excluding I and O, and the remaining three characters are Arabic numerals (the numbers cannot all be 0). 2. Auction numbers: License plates with the last three digits being 333, 666, 888, 999, or containing numbers 33, 66, 88, 99 will be auctioned and cannot be selected.

I just got my license plate in Tianjin recently, and the selection rules are actually quite simple. Tianjin license plates must start with the character ‘津’, followed by a customizable section of usually five digits, which can freely combine letters and numbers, such as the format 津A·12345. Letters can range from A to Z, but O is usually prohibited to avoid confusion with the number 0, while numbers can be freely chosen from 0 to 9. When selecting a number, be careful to avoid sensitive or inappropriate words, as the system will automatically review and reject them. Last time I chose online, it took a few attempts before I succeeded, opting for my initials plus my birthday numbers, which was quite convenient. After selecting the number, make sure to register it at the vehicle management office, or you’ll face a lot of trouble later. Remember, don’t get too greedy with flashy combinations—simpler ones are easier to remember. After all, the license plate is an identity marker; compliance is key to avoid being checked on the road. Keep an eye on updates from the traffic management app, as rules sometimes get minor adjustments, like now supporting more letters.
