What documents are needed for car purchase and registration?

[JosieLynn]

Here are the documents required for car purchase and registration: 1. First, pay the full amount at the 4S store, then the 4S store will deliver the car to you and provide a series of documents, including: purchase invoice, certificate of conformity, triple warranty manual, instruction manual, two keys, etc. Note that all documents must be complete, especially the certificate of conformity. 2. Purchase insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory, and although commercial insurance is not compulsory, it is recommended to purchase third-party liability insurance and vehicle damage insurance at the same time. It is recommended to purchase at least 500,000 coverage for third-party liability insurance. When purchasing insurance, the insurance company will collect the vehicle and vessel usage tax on behalf of the government. After purchasing insurance, it is recommended to apply for a temporary license plate at the same time to facilitate driving to the registration office. 3. Pay the vehicle purchase tax. There are fixed locations for paying the vehicle purchase tax in each area. Bring the certificate of conformity, invoice, owner's ID card, etc. to pay the tax. After paying the tax, you will receive a tax payment certificate for the vehicle purchase tax, one copy of which must be submitted to the vehicle management office during registration. 4. Go to the vehicle management office for registration. Registration requires driving the car for inspection, including the appearance, chassis number, and engine number. That's why it was mentioned earlier that a temporary license plate is needed after purchasing insurance. Otherwise, the vehicle cannot be moved without a temporary license plate.

I just bought a new car recently, so let me share the documents needed for registration. As a regular car owner, I brought the original ID card and its photocopy, the original car purchase invoice, the vehicle certificate, the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the purchase tax payment certificate issued by the tax bureau. Don’t forget to photocopy all the materials, as the vehicle management office often requires two copies of each. On my first visit, I forgot to bring the photocopy of my ID card and had to queue up again, wasting half a day. Nowadays, many places allow online appointments to save time from queuing. Also, if you want to choose your own license plate number, it’s best to prepare a few options in advance to avoid rushing on the spot. The whole process is quite smooth—as long as you have all the documents ready, it usually takes just one day to complete. But I recommend going early to avoid the slow process during peak hours. Also, make sure to buy insurance in advance, otherwise, the vehicle management office won’t process your registration.
