2 Answers
Requirements for obtaining a Shenzhen license plate when purchasing a car: residence in the city; possession of a valid motor vehicle driver's license for vehicle types C or above; no small passenger cars registered in the city under the applicant's name; no valid indicators held under the applicant's name. Below is relevant information about license plates: 1. Introduction: License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, refer to the plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, iron, plastic, or paper, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration area, or other relevant information. 2. Function: License plates serve as identification and information registration for vehicles. Their main purpose is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and to trace the vehicle's owner and registration details through the plate number.
I've lived in Shenzhen for several years, and there are several mandatory conditions for applying for a license plate. If you have a Shenzhen household registration, you can apply directly; for non-local household registration, you need to hold a Shenzhen residence permit and have continuously paid social security for at least 24 months. There are mainly two ways to apply: the lottery is free, but the winning rate is very low, and you might have to wait for several months or even a year; the bidding requires you to pay, usually preparing around 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. I chose the lottery at that time, and the process was quite simple. Just prepare your ID card, a copy of your residence permit, and proof of social security payment, and you can do it on the official website of the Shenzhen Transport Commission. I recommend getting the residence permit first before planning to buy a car, otherwise, you might encounter trouble during the application. After getting the license plate, driving is much more convenient, especially when going out during holidays without worrying about traffic restrictions. Some people choose new energy vehicles, which have looser license plate application conditions, but you need to plan the location of charging stations well. Remember that policies may change, so it's best to check the latest announcements on the official website.
