What is the process of car registration?
2 Answers
The process of car registration is: 1. Obtain the vehicle qualification certificate; 2. Keep the triplicate invoice of the car purchase; 3. Pay the vehicle purchase tax and obtain the original and duplicate tax certificates; 4. Register and inspect the vehicle at the vehicle management office; 5. Select the vehicle license plate number; 6. After payment, obtain and install the license plate. The license plate is the numbering of each vehicle, and its main function is to identify the province, city, and county to which the vehicle belongs. The vehicle management office can trace the owner of the vehicle through the license plate. The license plate refers to the vehicle number plate, which is hung on the front and rear of the vehicle. The materials used are aluminum, iron sheet, plastic or paper, on which the vehicle's registration number, registration area or other relevant information are engraved.
I once helped a friend with the license plate registration process, and it was quite complicated. The first step is to prepare all the necessary documents after purchasing the car: the original purchase invoice, the owner's ID card (both copy and original), the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the vehicle qualification certificate—none can be missing. Bring all these and drive to the DMV; booking an appointment online in advance can save time. The vehicle inspection is the most critical part—the inspector will check the brake lights, turn signals, and whether the emissions meet standards. Only after passing the safety check can you proceed to the next step. Choosing the license plate number is fun—some opt for random selection, while others prefer customizing their own personalized plate. It's best to think ahead to avoid wasting opportunities. Finally, pay the taxes and fees, receive the new license plates, and install them yourself. The entire process takes about four to five hours, so try to avoid peak hours like Mondays when it's less crowded. Also, double-check the accuracy of the vehicle registration certificate to avoid future hassles.
