What Happens If a New Car Isn't Licensed Within 60 Days?
1 Answers
If a new car isn't licensed after 60 days, there will be a fine, which amounts to 0.05% of the purchase tax. Therefore, it is recommended to license the new car within two months. In legal terms, there is no specific regulation stipulating how long a new car can go unlicensed before incurring a fine. However, for vehicles to be driven on public roads, the law clearly states that they must be legally registered and licensed. If temporary road use is needed before registration, a temporary license plate must be applied for in accordance with the law. This means that a new car can remain unlicensed indefinitely, but it must be licensed before being driven on public roads. If licensing cannot be completed in time, a temporary license plate must be obtained for road use. New car licensing process: After selecting the car model and paying the purchase price, the dealer will provide the manufacturer's vehicle quality certificate and a three-day vehicle movement permit, and issue the purchase invoice. When issuing the purchase invoice, the owner needs to provide their name and ID number. The owner should then take the tax payment copy of the purchase invoice, a copy of the vehicle quality certificate, original and copy of ID (for corporate vehicles, the company's organization code certificate and official seal are required), to the vehicle purchase tax office to pay the additional vehicle purchase tax. After completing the vehicle purchase tax payment, the owner can take the relevant documents, the registration copy of the purchase invoice, the original vehicle quality certificate, original and copy of ID (must be copied on A4 paper) to the vehicle management office to submit the materials and apply for the license plate.
