2 Answers
Used car license plate replacement process: After completing the vehicle ownership transfer procedures, you can drive the car to the local vehicle management office to apply for license plate replacement. Additional information: 1. Vehicle inspection: After the vehicle inspection is completed, you can go to the vehicle management office hall to select a license plate number. After choosing a good number and paying the license plate fee, you will generally receive the new license plate within 3-5 working days. 2. Before transferring ownership and replacing license plates for a used car: (1) Clear all traffic violations and accident records of the vehicle, and also pay attention to the validity period of the compulsory traffic insurance. The transfer can proceed if the compulsory insurance is still valid; if it has expired, you must provide proof of renewed compulsory insurance. (2) According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," the ownership transfer of a used car must be completed at the vehicle management office within thirty days after the transaction.
Last month I just helped my friend complete the used car transfer process, and it didn't seem too complicated. You need to prepare the original ID cards of both parties, the vehicle registration certificate, the driving license, a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and a transfer statement from the original owner. Drive together to the local DMV, first queue up at the inspection area to check the vehicle's emissions and VIN to ensure there are no traffic violations or tax arrears - this is where things can get stuck. Then pay the transfer tax and the processing fee, which is around a few dozen yuan. Finally, go to the counter to complete the registration and get new license plates, which are issued on the spot. The whole process takes about two hours. The key is to book an appointment online in advance to save time, and don't forget to bring cash or have Alipay ready for payment to avoid running back and forth. Nowadays many cities have simplified the process, making it faster for young people, but it's best for beginners to bring along someone experienced to get everything done in one trip.
