The requirements for motorcycle registration in Panyu are as follows: Provide proof of identity: Identity proof of the motor vehicle owner.

Be at least 18 years old: The purchaser must be at least 18 years old and be a Chinese citizen with full civil capacity.

To register a motorcycle in Panyu, I think several basic requirements must be met. First, the vehicle must comply with national emission standards, currently at least China IV or above. If you're buying a new bike, pay attention to this, otherwise it might fail the inspection. The vehicle management office will require your original ID card and a copy, and in Guangzhou, you also need local household registration or a valid residence permit, otherwise registration isn't possible. Purchasing compulsory insurance is mandatory—the premium isn't high but offers significant coverage. Prepare materials like the purchase invoice, certificate of conformity, and insurance policy, submit them, and get the vehicle inspected—that's it. I recommend going to the vehicle management office early to avoid wasting time. Panyu isn't as strict with motorcycle restrictions as the city center, so registration is relatively easier, but when riding, avoid restricted zones to prevent fines. Overall, the process isn't difficult—the key is having all the documents ready and ensuring the bike meets standards.
