Log in to the Traffic Management 12123 app and click on 'More' at the bottom right of the main menu. Under the motor vehicle services section, select 'Apply for a new vehicle temporary license plate'. Choose your city and click 'Next', then carefully read the service instructions. Fill in the vehicle identification number, address, and postal code, then click 'Next'. Upload the required documents, click 'Next', add the mailing address, and proceed to payment.
When I first bought my car, I was a bit confused but managed to smoothly handle the online process for extending the temporary license plate. First, go to the official website of your local traffic management bureau—I used the desktop version—and search for the 'vehicle services' section to find the temporary license plate extension entry. After registering an account and logging in, fill out the application form with basic details like the license plate number and vehicle identification number. Make sure to prepare all required documents for upload, including photos of both sides of your ID card, a scan of the original temporary license plate, and the vehicle registration certificate, among others. The payment can be made online via Alipay or WeChat—it’s just a few dozen yuan. After submission, wait for the review, which usually takes a day, and you’ll receive the result via SMS if approved. The new license plate’s electronic copy will be sent to your email for download, printing, and attaching. Don’t wait until the day before expiration—start the process a week earlier to be safe. Don’t get too caught up in driving and forget the deadline. Also, ensure uploaded documents are clear and not blurry, or they might be rejected. I think newbies can save a lot of hassle by checking the website’s help section more often.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I'm used to handling temporary license plate extensions online. Simply log into your local DMV website, find the 'License Plate Extension' service. When filling out the form, be careful not to mistype small details like the engine number and VIN code. Upload required documents including the original temporary plate and ID card photos, then pay a small processing fee of a few dozen yuan. After submission, the system usually approves within a day, and you can download the new plate. It's recommended to use PDF format for documents to reduce rejection risks. If the page freezes, try refreshing. The whole process can be done at home without visiting a counter, saving significant time. Remember to print and affix the new plate to your vehicle, and double-check the validity period. Once I missed some materials but was promptly notified to correct them without delay - experience tells me it's safer to apply 3-5 days in advance.
