2 Answers
Below is the application process for Beijing's new energy vehicle license plate lottery: 1. Log in to the "Beijing Passenger Car Quota Regulation Management Information System", enter the user center, apply for quota allocation. In the quota allocation function area, select the applicant type and click to enter the quota allocation application form page. Fill out the new energy vehicle declaration page truthfully, making sure to select "New Energy Vehicle Quota" in the quota type section. After verification, submit the application. 2. Obtain the application code and check the review results. Participate in the lottery. Twenty-five minutes after the lottery concludes, you can check the results on the website. One hour later, you can also inquire about the results by phone. 3. If you win the lottery, you can collect the "Quota Confirmation Notice" at the service window or download and print it from the website. Then proceed with vehicle-related procedures, including purchase tax payment, vehicle gift notarization, and vehicle registration/license plate application.
Last year, I went through the Beijing new energy vehicle lottery process for commuting to work as a young professional, and it left a deep impression. Regarding eligibility, you first need to confirm whether you have a Beijing household registration or a valid residence permit—otherwise, you’re immediately disqualified. Then, you must register an account on the Beijing Passenger Car Quota Regulation Management Information System, typically during the application period in the first few months of the year. I had to fill in my personal information and upload scanned copies of my ID card and residence proof—all of which can be done online. After submission, it’s best not to make any changes and simply wait for the periodic lottery draw. If selected, you’ll receive a notification and must register and purchase a new vehicle at the DMV within six months, or the quota will be invalidated. I recommend taking photos of all required documents in advance and checking the official website’s schedule to avoid forgetting due to busyness. The winning rate isn’t high, but the exemption from lottery fees for new energy vehicles makes it quite cost-effective.
