Documents required for new car registration: 1. Original ID card and a copy (if handling for someone else, bring both your ID and the car owner's ID); 2. Original invoice and a copy; 3. Original vehicle qualification certificate and a copy; 4. Original compulsory insurance policy copy and a duplicate; 5. Tax payment certificate. The process and procedures for new car registration: 1. Obtain the vehicle qualification certificate; 2. Keep the triplicate purchase invoice (red, yellow, and blue copies), which will be used for subsequent procedures like license plate application. Generally, the red and yellow copies need to be submitted, while the yellow copy is retained; 3. Pay the vehicle purchase tax and obtain the tax payment certificate. It should be paid as soon as possible after purchasing the vehicle; 4. Prepare the original ID card and a copy. Non-local residents need to provide the original temporary residence permit and a copy; 5. Register and inspect the vehicle at the DMV. Once all documents are ready, you can go to the DMV to apply for a license plate. First, a specialized traffic police officer will inspect the vehicle, mainly checking the vehicle identification number, vehicle appearance, and the warning triangle; 6. Choose a license plate number; 7. After selecting the number, pay the fee and wait to receive the license plate.

I just got my new SUV registered last month, and I had all the materials prepared well, so the process went smoothly. Remember to bring the original car purchase invoice, especially don’t lose the registration page—the DMV will definitely check it. The most important thing is the vehicle manufacturing certificate, which the 4S store will give you when you pick up the car. Also, you must bring the original and a copy of your ID card. If it’s a company purchase, you’ll need the business license copy and the company seal. Don’t forget to buy compulsory traffic insurance in advance and bring the blue-backed policy copy. The purchase tax must also be paid in advance at the local tax bureau, and you’ll need to print out the electronic tax payment certificate. An extra reminder: some cities now require appointments, so it’s best to book in advance on the Traffic Management 12123 App to save a lot of time. Wear comfortable shoes on the day you drive to the DMV, as waiting in line for the VIN stamping might take a while.

Last month, my best friend went to register her new energy vehicle, and it took her two trips to get it done. Looking back now, she still feels the preparation was insufficient. The core documents are just a few: the vehicle certificate of conformity is mandatory, the full set of invoices provided by the dealer must be brought along, and the original ID card along with copies should be prepared. Don’t forget the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and submit the duplicate copy to the counter staff. If the purchase tax was paid in advance, there will be a tax payment certificate, which is as important as the certificate of conformity. If the car is registered under a company name, it’s a bit more complicated—you’ll need to bring the business license and a power of attorney. It’s advisable to make two copies of all paper documents, as the self-service copiers at the vehicle management office often have long queues. By the way, there are many tax exemption policies for new energy vehicles now, so check the local regulations beforehand—you might save on purchase tax. Remember to wash the car clean; they’ll need to take photos of it.

Preparing materials for new car registration is actually quite simple. I just went through the process last week. There are four essential items: the registration copy of the car purchase invoice, the vehicle certificate of conformity, the original ID card, and the duplicate copy of compulsory traffic insurance. After purchasing the car, the 4S dealership will provide you with a document folder containing the invoice and certificate of conformity. Prepare two extra copies of your ID card photocopy, as the DMV will need them. Pay the purchase tax in advance and print the tax payment certificate. If you're handling the registration on behalf of a company, bring a photocopy of the business license with the company seal. The car must be driven there to take the engine number imprint. It's recommended to organize all materials in a clear document folder for faster inspection at the counter. The entire process can be completed in about an hour, and going early means fewer people.
