What is the vehicle registration process?
2 Answers
Prepare three copies each of the following documents: vehicle certificate of conformity, compulsory insurance policy, car purchase invoice, and ID card. First, go to the tax bureau to pay the vehicle purchase tax. At the vehicle management office, start at the document sorting and photo point. Then proceed with the rubbing and line inspection. After obtaining the vehicle inspection notice, go to the service hall to complete the registration process.
I found it super troublesome when registering my new car for the first time. You must prepare all the documents: the car purchase invoice, the owner's ID card, the vehicle certificate, and the compulsory traffic insurance policy. You also need to pay the purchase tax at the tax department first. Then, drive to the vehicle management office and queue for the vehicle inspection. The staff will check the car's engine number, VIN code, and whether there are any modifications to the appearance. If it fails, you have to start over. Once the inspection passes, you can choose the license plate. There are self-service machines or counters on-site where you can choose a custom number or a random one. Personally, I prefer going in the morning when there are fewer people. After selecting the number, pay the fees including the license plate fee and the processing fee. Generally, you can get the plate and the vehicle registration certificate in one or two hours. For beginners, it's recommended to ask a friend to help watch the car to avoid boredom during the wait. The whole process takes most of the day, and all materials are essential. Organizing the documents in advance saves time. Finally, attach the plate, and you're legally ready to hit the road.
