What is Vehicle Change Registration?
2 Answers
Vehicle change registration refers to the change of ownership of a registered motor vehicle. The current owner of the motor vehicle should submit relevant documents to the designated location for vehicle inspection and complete the change registration within 30 days from the date of vehicle delivery. The following are detailed explanations: 1. Processing method: Motor vehicles owned by embassies (consulates), foreign individuals or institutions, motorcycles with Jing A license plates, motor vehicles whose usage changes to police, firefighting, ambulance, or engineering rescue after transfer, as well as motor vehicles transferred out of the city or imported motor vehicles transferred into the city, should be processed at the vehicle management office. 2. Processing time limit: For transfer registration within the city, it will be completed within one working day. For motor vehicles transferred out of or into the city, it will be completed within three working days.
I just completed the vehicle registration change procedure last week, which is essentially an official update required when there are changes to the owner's information. For example, if you change the license plate address, modify the vehicle's color, or replace the engine, you must register these changes at the DMV. Bring your ID, registration certificate, and vehicle inspection report, and after an on-site inspection, you can receive a new vehicle license. If you don’t make these updates, you risk having your car impounded if stopped by authorities, and you won’t be able to transfer ownership when selling the car. My friend forgot to register his modified rims last year and got stuck with a hefty fine during the annual inspection. I advise owners not to skip this step—legal matters like this are best handled early to avoid complications, as mismatched vehicle information can cause serious delays.
