What is the Application Guide for Passenger Vehicle Quota Regulation and Management?
2 Answers
When individuals apply for a quota renewal, if they have other motor vehicles under their name that should be scrapped but have not completed the deregistration process, they must first complete the deregistration procedures for the scrapped vehicles in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China." Below is detailed information: Conditions: The applicant must not have a passenger vehicle registered in the city under their name and must hold a valid motor vehicle driving license issued by the traffic management department of the public security bureau. Important Notes: For quota applications submitted in 2021, the applicant must have paid individual income tax in the city continuously for five years from 2016 to 2020. Applicants can cancel their passenger vehicle allocation quota applications during two application periods each year: from January 1 to March 8 and from August 1 to October 8.
Last year, I went through a lot of trouble to get this application done for buying a car. The 'Passenger Vehicle Quota Regulation Management Application Guide' is an official manual that tells you how to apply for a car purchase quota, like the purchase restriction policies in Beijing and Shanghai. You first need to check if you qualify, such as having a local household registration or work permit, then register online, fill out forms, and upload documents like your ID card and social security records. The process involves submitting the application, waiting for review, participating in a lottery or bidding, and only after winning can you buy a new car. The guide emphasizes the importance of submitting genuine documents, as the approval process can take a long time—possibly a month or more. It took me three months to get it done, which was quite a hassle. It also warns against missing deadlines or documents, as that would mean all your effort was for nothing. Overall, the guide helps newcomers save time, but for impatient people, it can be really frustrating, requiring multiple checks to ensure nothing is overlooked.
