What materials are needed for a temporary license plate?

[DiAxel]

Materials required for a temporary license plate are as follows: original and photocopy of the vehicle certificate; original and photocopy of the third copy of compulsory traffic insurance; original and photocopy of the first copy of the car purchase invoice; original and photocopy of the owner's identity proof; non-local owners need the original and photocopy of the owner's temporary residence permit. Situations where a temporary license plate can be applied for are as follows: 1. When purchasing a car: When driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to the place of use, a temporary license plate must be applied for at the local vehicle management office where the car was purchased. 2. Vehicle transfer: When the official license plate has been surrendered, a temporary license plate must be applied for at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location. 3. Not applying for an official license plate: For a new car that has not applied for an official license plate in the local area and needs to be driven to another location for modification, a temporary license plate must be applied for locally. After modification is completed, a temporary license plate must be applied for at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original area.

Last time I just finished applying for a temporary license plate, and the required materials were actually quite simple. The most important items are the original ID card and its photocopy – the owner's name must match the name on the invoice. You need to bring the original car purchase invoice, especially the registration copy. The vehicle certificate (for domestically produced cars) or import certificate (for imported cars) must also be packed – I almost forgot this. Don't forget the photocopy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy – nowadays you can print the electronic version. Oh, and remember to bring the original vehicle purchase tax payment certificate – though it can be checked on mobile phones now, having a physical copy is safer. If you're using an agent, you'll need to prepare a power of attorney and the agent's ID card. I recommend calling the local DMV in advance to confirm the requirements, as there might be slight regional differences. The temporary license plate is valid for 30 days – remember to affix it to the lower left corner of the front windshield, otherwise you might get fined if caught by traffic police.

To get a temporary license plate in one go, make sure you have all the materials ready. I’ve been there three times, so here’s my advice. The basic documents include four items: the car owner’s ID (original + copy), the original car purchase invoice, the compulsory traffic insurance policy (a printed electronic version is acceptable), and the vehicle’s certificate of conformity or import documentation. Don’t forget to bring the purchase tax certificate as a supplementary document—nowadays, it’s usually downloaded and printed. If you’re using a proxy, you’ll also need a power of attorney and a copy of the proxy’s ID. I recommend making two copies of each document and keeping them in a folder, as the copy service at the DMV always has long lines. Once you get the temporary plate, don’t leave in a hurry—double-check whether it’s for intra-provincial or inter-provincial use, and remember to replace it with a permanent plate within the 30-day validity period. Oh, and make sure to display the temporary plate visibly on the front windshield—I once saw someone get fined for casually tossing it into the glove compartment.

I just helped a friend apply for a temporary license plate. The required materials are only five essentials: original/copy of ID card, vehicle purchase invoice registration slip, original vehicle qualification certificate, compulsory traffic insurance proof, and vehicle purchase tax payment certificate. For proxy applications, a power of attorney and the proxy's ID card are needed. The key point is to ensure the name on the invoice matches the ID card. Last time, the lady at the next window had to redo it because of a typo. Now, some cities allow online submission of materials for pre-approval, saving you from queuing. There are two types of temporary plates: blue for provincial use only, and brown for inter-provincial travel—choose according to your needs. After receiving it, pay attention to the validity period, which varies between 15 or 30 days.
