When I first bought my car, I used this temporary license plate with an 'L' on it, which is actually short for a temporary vehicle license. It's required for new cars on the road before getting the official license plate. There are two colors of temporary plates for different uses: blue background with black text is only for local use, while brown background with black text allows nationwide travel. Remember to place them on the lower left corner of the front windshield and the lower left corner of the rear window, otherwise, the police will pull you over. The validity period is usually about 15 days, with a maximum of one month. Once, my neighbor didn’t notice that his temporary plate had expired and got fined 12 points—it was heartbreaking, so don’t make this mistake. Also, even with a temporary plate, traffic violations can still be captured. Last year, a friend ran a red light with a temporary plate and received a ticket not long after.

Last month when I picked up my car at the 4S dealership, I received this kind of license plate. The salesperson said its full name is Temporary Vehicle License Plate, mainly used for facilitating new car transfers and allowing road use during transportation - otherwise driving without plates would get the car impounded by traffic police. It's made of thick cardboard, so you need to handle it carefully to avoid getting it wet or bent. I noticed regulations vary across provinces - for example, Beijing only issues 7-day validity temporary plates while Shanghai allows 15 days. When affixing it, proper secure installation is mandatory. I once saw someone use flimsy tape that came off while driving, resulting in a fine. The worst part? Traffic violations caught on camera with temporary plates still incur demerit points. My cousin almost cried when he got a speeding ticket with temporary plates - such a raw deal.

Many friends ask why new cars are issued with this type of license plate. Simply put, it's a transitional temporary pass. The required documents are quite straightforward: ID card, car purchase invoice, and compulsory traffic policy. It can be obtained immediately at the vehicle management office, but the key is to double-check the information to avoid any errors in the numbers. The expiration date is clearly printed, and an expired temporary plate is worse than having no plate at all—it will be directly treated as driving without a license. The plate must be affixed to the lower left corner area of the front and rear windshields. Don't follow some car owners who just toss it on the dashboard, as traffic police will definitely pull you over and issue a ticket. During heavy rain while driving, extra care must be taken to prevent the numbers from getting washed out.

Recently, many car owners have been inquiring about this. Its official name is the temporary vehicle license plate. There are mainly two types issued: brown background temporary plates for newly manufactured vehicles in transit, and blue background temporary plates for vehicles undergoing ownership transfer. It's advisable to take a photo for records upon receipt, as there have been cases of temporary plates being stolen. Remember to bring the original vehicle qualification certificate when applying. One thing many people overlook: is already effective during the temporary plate period, so scratches and dents can also be claimed. The plate must be properly affixed in the designated location. I once saw one pasted on the sunroof, and the driver was immediately asked by the traffic police to reattach it. Using an expired temporary plate is really not worth it, with a minimum fine of 200 yuan and 9 points deducted.

I specifically researched this when helping a client obtain temporary license plates a couple of days ago. The blue background plates are for local use, while the brown ones are required for long-distance travel. Be cautious about the validity period traps - for instance, Jiangsu defaults to 30 days whereas Zhejiang only issues 15-day plates. With all documents prepared, it takes just twenty minutes at the DMV, but don't forget to bring the duplicate copy of the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate. When affixing the plate, make absolutely sure to avoid the driver's sightline area and don't obscure the inspection decal in the lower right corner. The most troublesome situation is when people store temporary plates in the glove compartment - that's equivalent to driving without displayed plates. I recommend scheduling formal registration on the same day as vehicle pickup to avoid last-minute hassles when temporary plates expire and requiring reinspection.
