What are the requirements for the Foshan license plate lottery?
2 Answers
In the Foshan area, local vehicle registration does not require a lottery. There are two methods for vehicle registration: 1. Directly selecting a license plate online; 2. On-site "50 choose 1" at the local vehicle management office. For non-local vehicles wanting to register in Foshan, a local property ownership certificate or residence permit is required. Online plate selection only provides number-letter-number combination plates, with two selection methods: random selection and self-composed selection. Random selection is divided into five groups, with ten plates in each group. Self-composed selection allows up to five self-composed plates at a time, with a total of twenty opportunities. Whether selecting online or on-site, registration at the vehicle management office must be completed within three days, otherwise the selected plate will be invalidated, and the owner cannot select plates online for two years, only being able to use the "50 choose 1" method at the local vehicle management office.
I just learned about the conditions for the Foshan license plate lottery, which are quite practical. You must have a Foshan household registration or a stable residence in Foshan, such as a rental contract or residence permit to prove you live here, otherwise the application will be invalid. A driver's license is essential; without it, you can't even pass the threshold. Additionally, you cannot have other Foshan license plates under your name to avoid resource occupation. When applying, you need to submit materials online, including social security or tax payment proof, to demonstrate you have a stable income. The lottery is held once a month, and the winning rate isn't high, but with thorough preparation, there's always hope. I also recommend checking your household registration status in advance to avoid wasted effort. The lottery is a fair distribution method that can reduce congestion, but remember to renew your driver's license in time to prevent expiration from affecting your eligibility.
