What are the regulations for the use of temporary license plates for motor vehicles?

[McBeau]

Before the official license plate is issued, new vehicles usually have a temporary license plate. The regulations for temporary license plates are mainly divided into three parts. The following is a detailed introduction: 1. Types of temporary license plates: (1) Sky blue background with black characters and black frame lines, limited to driving within the city, which is the local temporary license plate; (2) Brown-yellow background with black characters and black frame lines, which can be used for cross-city driving, also known as the non-local temporary license plate; (3) In addition to the temporary license plates for ordinary household vehicles, there are also temporary license plates for test motor vehicles and special-type motor vehicles. Their appearance is similar to ordinary temporary license plates, but they usually have a "test" or "special" text identifier. 2. Situations requiring temporary license plates: (1) When driving from the place of purchase to the place of use, a temporary license plate must be applied for at the vehicle management office in the place of purchase; (2) When transferring vehicle registration and the official license plate has been surrendered, a temporary license plate must be applied for at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original place; (3) When a new vehicle in the local area that has not yet obtained an official license plate needs to be driven to another place for modification, a temporary license plate must be applied for locally. After modification, a temporary license plate must be applied for at the local place to drive back to the original area; (4) When a vehicle purchased locally needs to be driven to another place, a temporary license plate must be applied for locally to drive to the other place; the same applies in reverse. (5) When the vehicle registration is not yet fixed and temporary trial use is needed. 3. Validity period of temporary license plates: The validity period will be indicated on the temporary license plate, which is 15, 30, or 90 days. The temporary license plate must be used within the validity period. If the official license plate has not been obtained after the validity period expires, a new application must be made, but the number of applications cannot exceed three times.
