The 2020 license plate retention policy is quite user-friendly in my opinion. I've specifically researched it - the new regulations allow us to retain the original license plate number for up to two years after vehicle transfer or cancellation, extending the previous one-year limit. The prerequisite is that the original plate must have been used for at least 12 months with no outstanding traffic violations or accidents during that period. To retain the plate, simply submit the application during the transfer procedures at the vehicle management office. The retained plate can be used on either a newly purchased vehicle or a used one, but the vehicle type must remain consistent with the original. A reminder: bring your ID card and vehicle registration certificate when applying, and checking your violation records in advance will make the process smoother.
