What does optional license plate prefix mean?
1 Answers
Optional license plate prefix means that motor vehicle owners can choose their own license plate numbers. There are two ways to self-select license plate numbers: one is online selection, and the other is selection at the vehicle management office. Online selection is further divided into random selection and self-composed selection. For online selection, only combinations of numbers plus letters plus numbers are available. Owners can choose random selection or self-composed selection. The number segments available for self-composed selection are those that have been released for more than 7 days. Each self-composed attempt can include up to five numbers, with a total of 20 attempts allowed. Once a self-composed license plate number is selected, it cannot be changed. It is important to note that after selecting a number online, the owner must complete the registration process at the local vehicle management office within three days. If this period is exceeded, the selected number will automatically become invalid. After purchasing a car, the owner must register the license plate within 15-30 days, with a maximum of 30 days allowed. In special cases where the car is not registered within 30 days, the owner must obtain a temporary license plate from the vehicle management office, and temporary license plates can be applied for a maximum of three times.
