What documents are needed for the second application of a temporary license plate?
2 Answers
The procedures are the same as the first time. You need to prepare a copy of the owner's ID card, a copy of the "registration" page of the car purchase invoice, a copy of the vehicle qualification certificate, a copy of the compulsory insurance policy, and then fill out an application form at the licensing office. The following are the classifications of temporary license plates: 1. Yellow temporary license plate: The yellow temporary license plate can be used both out of town and within the city, with a validity period of 30 days, and can be applied for up to three times. 2. Blue temporary license plate: The blue temporary license plate can only be used within the city, with a validity period of 15 days, and can be applied for up to three times.
I recently applied for a temporary license plate for the second time, and the process was quite a hassle. You need to prepare the original and photocopies of your identity documents, such as your ID card or passport, to verify your personal information. Also required is a photocopy of the car purchase invoice, which must clearly show the VIN and transaction price—many places are very strict about this. Additionally, a copy of the first temporary license plate application form or the license plate surrender proof is crucial; otherwise, the staff might think you're applying repeatedly. Don’t forget to bring the compulsory traffic insurance policy to prove the vehicle is insured. Last time, I forgot the insurance policy and had to make three trips back and forth before getting it done, wasting half a day. I recommend calling the local DMV in advance to confirm all required documents before going. The fee for the second renewal of a temporary license plate is usually low, but incomplete documentation can easily cause delays. Safety first—don’t cut corners.
