Documents required for new car registration include: ID card, vehicle certification, triplicate car purchase invoice issued by the 4S store, original and duplicate tax certificates obtained after paying the vehicle purchase tax, insurance policy, compulsory traffic insurance policy. For non-local residents, a temporary residence permit is also required. Relevant information about license plates is as follows: 1. Notes for new car registration: You need to go to the vehicle management office to complete the registration process. After submitting all required documents and paying the fees, the vehicle must be driven to the vehicle management office for inspection. Some exempt vehicles only require an external inspection, which generally involves checking the engine number and chassis number. After the inspection, you can proceed to the vehicle management office hall to select a license plate. 2. Function of license plates: License plates are used for numbering and information registration of vehicles. Their main purpose is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs, and the owner and registration information of the vehicle can also be traced through the license plate.

Last year when I registered my new car, the experience went quite smoothly. The key is to prepare a few essential documents: the original purchase invoice (proof of your vehicle purchase—don’t lose it), the original vehicle certificate of conformity (the manufacturer’s quality certification, which must be brought), three to five copies of both sides of your ID card (sometimes required by the DMV), the tax payment certificate or exemption form for vehicle purchase tax (to be processed at the tax office), and the compulsory traffic insurance policy (nowadays, it can be arranged online in advance). Oh, and don’t forget the environmental label for the car—some places require on-site photos, so bring a few extra pictures just in case. The process was quick, but I’d recommend arriving at the DMV half an hour early to avoid delays. Bringing some water and snacks is also handy, since getting everything done in one day makes life much easier.

Having worked at a car dealership for a long time, I know that vehicle registration requires a complete set of documents: The original invoice must have clear handwriting; the vehicle qualification certificate must be the original, as copies are invalid; bring the original ID card plus at least two copies; the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate is essential—without it, the tax bureau won’t accept the application; don’t forget the original compulsory traffic insurance policy, and it’s best to print it in advance; the vehicle registration form is usually filled out on-site at the DMV, so no need to worry. Having all the documents ready saves trouble. I remind everyone to check that the invoice date hasn’t expired, verify the insurance validity period, and prepare multiple copies of all documents to speed up the approval process. The entire procedure at the DMV takes about half an hour—the key is not to rush and take it step by step to avoid mistakes.

I just bought a car and am figuring out what documents to bring for registration: the purchase invoice is definitely required, given at pickup; the vehicle qualification certificate should come with it; bring the original ID card and make several copies; compulsory traffic insurance policy must be prepared in advance, otherwise you can't drive on the road. Actually, what newbies fear most is missing materials. I asked the salesperson to clarify and suggest downloading a DMV app to check the list or calling ahead to avoid a wasted trip. With all documents ready, the process takes just five minutes to fill out forms and inspect the car, but be sure to double-check the name and license plate number to avoid mistakes.

What do National V and National VI mean?

National V is China 5, and National VI is China 6. National V stands for the National Fifth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicle Pollutants, while National VI stands for the National Sixth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicle Pollutants. Both refer to the emission standards for vehicle exhaust. The emission control level of National V is equivalent to the European Stage 5 emission standard, imposing stricter limits on nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter emitted by motor vehicles. From National I to National IV, each upgrade in the standard reduces vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. The National VI emission standard improves upon National V by 40% to 50%, reaching a level comparable to that of the United States, making it one of the strictest emission standards globally. The National VI emission standard is implemented in two phases: National VIa and National VIb, with National VIb being even stricter than National VIa.
