What are the requirements for bidding on a license plate number?
2 Answers
Bidding on a license plate number requires three conditions: payment of a bidding deposit, approval by the regulatory authority, and obtaining the license through the bidding process. Here is a partial introduction to bidding on a license plate number: Prerequisites for bidding on a license plate number: Valid license plate incremental quota application code + payment of deposit = bidding qualification. The prerequisite for bidding on a license plate number is that the bidder has completed the incremental quota application registration process. Conditions: At the time of applying for the incremental quota registration, the bidder must have chosen to obtain the quota through the bidding process; the bidder must have paid the bidding deposit as required; and the application code must have been reviewed and approved by the Guangzhou Small and Medium Passenger Vehicle Quota Control Authority as a valid code. Application refers to applying online or at the vehicle management office to participate in the bidding for an incremental license plate quota, and the application must meet the required conditions.
The requirements for obtaining a license plate vary by location. In Beijing, where I've tried multiple times, the basic conditions include having local household registration or a valid residence permit, at least one year of consecutive social security payments, and being at least 18 years old with an ID card. Before applying, you need to prepare relevant documents, such as copies of your household registration booklet and social security proof—none can be missing. The process involves registering an account on the official website, filling in personal information, uploading scanned documents, paying a deposit (usually around 2,000 to 3,000 yuan), and then waiting for the lottery results. The first time I applied, my documents weren’t complete, so my application was rejected, wasting a whole month. So, I recommend checking the list at least a week in advance. If you win the lottery, make sure to hurry to the vehicle management office to complete the process to avoid expiration. The whole procedure is quite tedious, but for car owners, it’s just a small hurdle—patience is key.
