Buying a car with license plate registration included means that the 4S dealership will assist in handling the vehicle license plate registration process, eliminating the need for the buyer to personally go through the procedure. Relevant information about vehicle license plate registration is as follows: The difference between having the 4S dealership handle the registration versus doing it yourself: Apart from the difference in cost, there is no other distinction. Using the 4S dealership's service will be more expensive than registering the plate yourself. If you have sufficient time or know someone at the vehicle management office, you can go to the vehicle management office to register the license plate yourself. If you are pressed for time and don't mind the additional service fee charged by the 4S dealership, you can let the 4S dealership handle the license plate registration for you. To register a vehicle license plate, you must prepare the following documents: Vehicle certificate of conformity, triplicate purchase invoice, vehicle purchase tax certificate (original and copy), insurance certificate, and original and photocopy of ID card. With these five documents, you can go to the vehicle management office to register and inspect the vehicle. The vehicle management office mainly checks the vehicle identification code, vehicle appearance, and vehicle warning triangle plate, so make sure to prepare these in advance.
Last time I bought a car at the 4S dealership, I opted for their license plate registration service. Essentially, this means the dealership handles all the procedures for registering your new car. Starting from issuing the purchase invoice, they take care of buying insurance, paying the purchase tax, going to the vehicle management office for inspection, selecting a license plate number, and finally delivering the vehicle registration certificate and license to you. Throughout the process, I only had to sign a few times, while the dealership staff handled everything, saving me the hassle of taking time off to queue at various departments. Although it costs a bit more in service fees, considering how long the queues at the vehicle management office can take—often half a day—the money was well spent. When I picked up the car, the license plates were already installed, and I could drive it away immediately, hassle-free and effortless.
The all-inclusive license plate service is a one-stop solution provided by dealers to handle all the registration procedures for new car owners. I've dealt with many clients who find it most frustrating to personally visit the tax office to pay the purchase tax or go to the inspection station for vehicle checks. The dealership will collect all necessary documents like your ID and purchase invoice, assign a specialist to handle the formalities, and even assist with selecting a license plate number on the 12123 APP. This service also includes the license plate production fee and installation fee. The key advantage is saving time—doing it yourself might require two or three trips, while the dealership can typically complete everything in two days. However, remember to clarify in advance whether the service includes the license plate selection fee, as some special plate numbers may incur additional charges.
