The process for obtaining a temporary license plate for a new car is: 1. The car owner should bring their ID card, the fourth copy of the car purchase invoice, the original and a copy of the vehicle qualification certificate, the original and a copy of the third copy of compulsory traffic insurance, etc., to the local vehicle management office window to apply for a temporary license plate; 2. Go to the finance department to pay the processing fee; 3. Take the receipt to the temporary license plate window to queue up and receive it. A temporary license plate is a temporary vehicle driving certificate issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau before the new car is officially registered. Notes about temporary license plates: 1. Two temporary plates need to be obtained, one to be affixed to the front windshield and the other to the rear windshield; 2. The validity period of a temporary license plate is 15 to 30 days, and each car can apply for it at least 3 times.
I recently helped a friend apply for a temporary license plate, and the process was actually quite simple. Just bring your ID card, the new vehicle's certificate of conformity, the purchase invoice, and the compulsory traffic insurance policy to the DMV, and you can get it done. You'll need to fill out an application form on-site, and usually, you can get the paper temporary license plate in about ten minutes. It's important to note that the blue-background temporary plate is only valid for 15 days within the city, while the brown one with the province name allows you to drive across cities for a month. Last time, my friend was reminded by traffic police not to exceed the validity period when driving long distances with a temporary plate. If you're in a hurry to pick up your car, ask the 4S store—some major brands can issue temporary plates directly at the dealership, saving you the trip.
