1 Answers
Newly purchased motor vehicle licensing regulations are as follows: Identity proof of the motor vehicle owner: Individuals must provide an ID card; non-locals need to provide a temporary residence permit; military ID or household registration booklet; foreigners must provide a residence permit; company vehicles require an organization code certificate; proof issued by consulates or foreign institutions in China. These documents must completely match the vehicle purchase invoice, with both originals and copies provided. Proof of motor vehicle origin: Original purchase invoice; or effective court-issued "Mediation Agreement", "Ruling", or "Judgment" along with corresponding "Assistance in Execution Notice", "Arbitration Award"; or "Notarization Certificate" for inheritance, gift, or debt settlement agreement; or approval documents from competent authorities for asset restructuring or bulk sales; or auction-purchased vehicles; or auction invoice; or "Confiscation Certificate for Smuggled Cars and Motorcycles" issued by law enforcement. Motor vehicle product qualification certificate: Domestic vehicles require a complete factory qualification certificate; imported vehicles need "Goods Import Certificate" and "Customs Supervision Vehicle Entry/Exit License Plate Notification". Imported vehicles also require online verification, domestic vehicles undergo stolen vehicle checks, and vehicles produced after January 1, 2011 must include factory-provided photos and VIN chassis imprint.
