What documents must be obtained when buying a car in full payment?
2 Answers
After purchasing a car, you must obtain the following documents: one vehicle license, purchase invoice, insurance policy, one motor vehicle registration certificate, purchase tax certificate, annual inspection label, compulsory traffic insurance label, and environmental protection label. New vehicles must pass an inspection at the vehicle testing center before they can receive their license plates. Precautions for new cars are as follows: Tax payment: Tax payment is an essential step in car purchasing. Generally, tax payment windows for vehicles do not accept cash, so it is necessary to prepare a bank card in advance. Usually, the vehicle management office also has tax payment windows, so you can pay at the dedicated window of the vehicle management office. Choosing the model and configuration: The first step in buying a car is to select the model and the desired configuration. When determining the model, it is important to consider your budget. The principle of choosing a car is to first decide what type of car you want to buy, such as a sedan or SUV, and then consider your sensitivity to several parameters, such as fuel consumption, maintenance costs, space, noise level, and loading capacity.
Last year, I bought a car in full payment, and only after the experience did I realize how crucial the document checklist is. The purchase invoice is the basic proof, confirming the transaction is completed; without the vehicle qualification certificate, the DMV won’t issue a license plate—I almost got delayed because of this. The registration certificate, commonly known as the 'big green book,' is the vehicle’s ID card and must be kept safe at all times. The conformity certificate is also critical, ensuring the car meets national standards. Don’t forget the insurance policy—at least compulsory traffic insurance must be obtained, or driving will be illegal. The user manual and warranty card are essential for future maintenance and repairs. The purchase tax payment certificate should also be stored properly to avoid tax issues. My advice is to check each item carefully when picking up the car and keep them in a safe place. You’ll need these documents for selling the car or handling accidents later—don’t cut corners, take every step carefully.
