Tips for Choosing License Plates for Used Cars?
2 Answers
When transferring ownership of a used car, a new license plate must be obtained. There are three methods for selecting a license plate number during used car ownership transfer: 1. System random selection. In fact, the simplest and fastest way to transfer ownership and obtain a license plate for a used car is through the system's random selection process. After successfully selecting a number, it takes 5 working days to produce the license plate, and the temporary license plate printed will be valid for 15 days. 2. Self-selection. The license plate will still be produced within 5 working days, and the temporary license plate will be valid for 15 days. The difference between the two methods is that with system selection, the vehicle's number range is fixed, and you choose from within that range. Online self-selection allows you to create a number based on your personal preferences.
I often help friends pick used car license plates, and the most common technique is choosing meaningful number sequences based on personal interests, such as birthdays, anniversaries, or lucky number combinations. For me, a license plate is like the car's identity—finding a romantic number like '5201314' adds a touch of life's charm. When selecting a plate for a used car, first browse the available options in the DMV's selection pool or online platform. Don’t rush to decide; try a few rounds to find your ideal combination. Consider readability when choosing—avoid overly complex or jumbled numbers, or others won’t remember them and it’ll be frustrating. If the original plate on the used car isn’t suitable, transferring it is easy—keeping a relaxed mindset is key.
