For car owners with Shenzhen household registration, a driver's license is sufficient. For those without Shenzhen household registration, in addition to a driver's license, they must also present a residence permit and social security documents. Below are specific details about license plates: Function of license plates: License plates serve as identification numbers and information registration for vehicles, primarily enabling identification of the vehicle's registered region and facilitating access to the owner's details and registration information. Classification by license plate color: Large civilian vehicles have yellow plates with black characters. Small civilian vehicles have blue plates with white characters. Embassy foreign vehicles have black plates with white characters and a red "Embassy" character mark. Consulate foreign vehicles have black plates with white characters and a red "Consulate" character mark. Other foreign vehicles have black plates with white characters. Test vehicles have blue plates with white characters and a "Test" character mark before the numbers. Learner vehicles have blue plates with white characters and a "Learner" character mark before the numbers. Temporary plates have white backgrounds with red characters and a "Temporary" mark before the numbers. Coach vehicles have yellow plates with black characters and a "Learner" character mark after the numbers.
Last year, I got a Yue B license plate for my new energy vehicle in Shenzhen, and the process went smoothly. The key points are that the car must be purely electric or plug-in hybrid, and listed in the national catalog. Applicants must have a Shenzhen household registration. If not, they need to hold a valid residence permit for at least two years and have continuously paid social insurance for 24 months. The quota application is submitted through the 'Shenzhen Traffic Police' WeChat public account or official website. New energy vehicle quotas are free and do not require a lottery. I spent some time checking if the vehicle model was eligible, and I received the quota within a week after applying. Shenzhen has many charging stations, and driving saves fuel costs, making it both eco-friendly and cost-effective. I recommend everyone to apply early.
