What documents are needed for a temporary license plate?

To obtain a temporary license plate, you need the identity proof of the vehicle owner, the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, the vehicle origin proof, and the vehicle's whole vehicle factory qualification certificate. The function of a temporary license plate: A temporary license plate is a paper motor vehicle license plate that permits temporary road use of the vehicle, also known as a temporary driving license plate. It is a temporary vehicle driving certificate issued by the public security vehicle management department for newly purchased vehicles before official registration. The validity period of a temporary license plate generally does not exceed thirty days. How to affix a temporary license plate: Two temporary driving license plates need to be affixed. One should be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, and it should not be covered by the compulsory insurance label. The other should be affixed to the upper left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. For other types of vehicles with installation limitations, only one temporary driving license plate is required, but it should be affixed to the lower left or lower right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, to ensure driving safety.

I just helped a friend apply for a temporary license plate, and here are the most reliable things you need to prepare. The original ID card of the vehicle owner must be brought along. If it's a company vehicle, you'll need a copy of the business license with the official seal. The original vehicle certificate is also essential—without it, the DMV won't process your application. Don't forget the original registration copy of the purchase invoice, and remember to make two photocopies in advance. The original compulsory insurance policy is a must, and since it's usually electronic now, it's advisable to print it out beforehand. If someone else is handling the application for you, a power of attorney and the original ID card of the agent are also required. Last time I went, I made sure to call ahead to confirm the requirements, as each DMV might have slight differences. It's always safer to double-check before you go.

I'm quite familiar with the process of applying for temporary license plates. With all the required materials ready, it's actually quite fast. There are five essential documents you must have: the original ID card and its photocopy. Nowadays, you can photocopy it on-site at the DMV, but bringing your own saves time. The vehicle qualification certificate must be the original—don't get this wrong. For the car purchase invoice, make sure it's the registration page. Last time, a guy brought the wrong one and had to make a wasted trip. The compulsory traffic insurance policy can now be electronic, but you'll need to print it out. If you're using a proxy, the power of attorney must be hand-signed to be valid. Remember to choose a nearby DMV—many now operate on weekends, so no need to take time off work for this.

The documents required for a temporary license plate are quite simple, just four items: the owner's ID card, vehicle certification, purchase invoice, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. Nowadays, online appointment is recommended to avoid queuing. Remember to bring the registration copy of the invoice, and the insurance policy must be a paper version or printout. If you need the temporary plate on the same day of picking up the car, it's best to have the 4S store prepare the materials in advance, which is the most convenient. Some cities also require vehicle photos, but these can be taken on-site at the vehicle management office.
