Vehicles require complete documents and materials to complete the registration process. Below are the relevant details: Materials: Original purchase invoice stamped by the industrial and commercial administrative authority, along with 2 copies; vehicle certification and 1 copy; the vehicle owner's personal identity proof; personal vehicles must pay in cash. After obtaining the vehicle license plate from the public security vehicle management department, the owner must return to the fee collection office with the vehicle registration certificate and vehicle purchase tax receipt to complete the filing procedures. The fee collection office staff will fill in the license plate number on the receipt and stamp it with a 'filed' mark. Then, the owner must pay the road maintenance fee at the local highway maintenance fee collection office and the insurance premium at the insurance company. Documents required to collect the vehicle license plate: purchase invoice, owner's ID card, insurance policy, purchase tax receipt, and vehicle inspection certificate.

When I went to register my first car, it took me most of the day. Make sure to bring the original ID card and copies, and the car purchase invoice must be clear and complete. The original vehicle qualification certificate is crucial as it proves the car's factory standards. Don't forget the insurance policy—compulsory traffic insurance must be effective before you can proceed, so print it out for reference. You'll also need the purchase tax certificate; if you haven't paid the tax yet, visit the tax office first, which can be time-consuming. I once forgot the tax receipt and had to go back, wasting several hours. Additionally, some places require a residence permit or temporary residence certificate, so check local policies in advance. It's advisable to book an appointment at the vehicle management office online beforehand—mornings are less crowded. Bring some cash as copiers often have long queues. Though the process is tedious, once done, you can drive with peace of mind.

Having gone through vehicle registration several times, my experience tells me that all documents must be complete: the owner's ID card, the signed purchase contract or transfer agreement, and the vehicle qualification certificate are absolutely essential. For new cars, remember the whole vehicle factory certificate; for used cars, you'll need the transfer certificate and the original vehicle documents. Regarding insurance, the compulsory insurance policy is mandatory—make sure the dates are valid. Previously, non-locals needed to provide a residence permit, but now an ID card is sufficient. I always bring all original documents—the DMV will make copies on-site, saving hassle. Also, the appointment system is very useful; scheduling a day in advance helps avoid crowds. Once, I made a wasted trip because the insurance wasn't effective yet, so now I double-check everything before heading out.

On the day of purchasing and registering a car for our child, the whole family mobilized to prepare the necessary documents. We needed to bring the owner's ID card, the car purchase invoice, and the vehicle qualification certificate. For a new car transfer, the vehicle conformity certificate was also crucial. For insurance, the compulsory traffic insurance policy must be active, and don't forget the tax payment receipt to prove all taxes have been paid. As a parent, I also recommend bringing the household register to prove family relationships, just in case the child can't attend and needs to delegate the process. The entire procedure takes about two hours, so it's wise to bring several copies of each document in case any are lost.
