What Does Vehicle Registration Mean?
2 Answers
Vehicle registration refers to the process of obtaining a license plate number for a new vehicle. The specific explanation is as follows: This is to better distinguish vehicles, similar to a person's ID card, where each registration is unique. Vehicle registration is handled at the local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), with three opportunities to choose a number. The selected number within these three attempts becomes the license plate number. Vehicle registration can be processed across different regions, but the requirements may vary depending on the location. For specific details, it is advisable to consult the local DMV. Documents required for registration include: ID card, vehicle certification, vehicle parameter sheet, car invoice (second and fourth copies), vehicle purchase tax receipt, car insurance policy, purchase invoice, vehicle certification, ID card or organization code certificate and its copy for invoice issuance, compulsory traffic insurance policy, tax payment certificate, and for non-locals, a temporary residence permit.
Vehicle registration is the process of getting official license plates for a new car, just as important as getting an ID card. I recently helped my cousin with this – you need to bring the car purchase invoice, ID card, and vehicle certification to the DMV first. The staff will check the VIN and engine number, and you’ll need to pay the purchase tax and insurance before selecting a license plate. Many people like to customize a meaningful number, like a birthday. Before getting the metal plates, you’ll receive a temporary paper license to stick on the windshield, allowing you to drive for about a week. Some cities now offer online appointments to avoid long queues. The whole process costs over a thousand yuan, but it’s necessary to legally drive—police checks always start by verifying your plates.
