What is the process for retaining the original license plate number when selling a car?
1 Answers
After the car is transferred, the original license plate can be retained by the original owner for 6 months. When applying for the registration of a newly purchased vehicle after completing the transfer or cancellation registration of the original motor vehicle, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number. In Beijing, after selling an old car, the license plate is reserved for the original owner, and the new owner who purchases a used car cannot use the original license plate but must select a new number for registration. The documents required for retaining the license plate when selling a car include: 1. The original and a copy of the owner's ID card. 2. "Motor Vehicle Transfer or Registration Application Form." 3. Proof of compulsory traffic insurance for the vehicle. 4. Annual inspection qualification certificate. 5. Whole vehicle factory qualification certificate. 6. Proof of origin of the motor vehicle. 7. For imported vehicles, additional documents such as import certificates, proof of paid purchase tax, and various materials submitted during vehicle registration are required. The conditions for retaining the original license plate after selling a car are as follows: 1. The vehicle must have been used for at least one year to retain the original license plate, and the retention period can be up to 1 year. 2. The original license plate can be retained if the vehicle is transferred, canceled, or relocated. 3. Both purchasing a used car and a new car are eligible for applying to retain the original license plate. 4. All traffic violation records of the original vehicle must be settled.
