What materials are needed for car registration?
2 Answers
The materials required for car registration include the purchase invoice (provided by the 4S store, with four copies: invoice copy, tax declaration copy, registration copy, and deduction copy), vehicle information form (provided by the 4S store), vehicle factory certificate (provided by the 4S store), compulsory insurance policy, original ID card of the owner, original ID card of the agent (if applicable), and the purchase quota confirmation notice. Below is the process for car registration: Drive to the inspection area: Drive to the vehicle management office. If you are using an agent, first go to the window to find a temporary worker to copy a blank power of attorney. If you are handling it yourself, drive directly to the inspection area. Pay the purchase tax: You need to go to the purchase tax collection office to pay the purchase tax. The 4S store usually also provides a purchase tax payment service, which is more convenient. After paying the tax, you will receive a vehicle purchase tax payment certificate. Vehicle license plate: After arriving at the vehicle management office and filling out the motor vehicle registration application form, the staff will first take photos of the vehicle. Vehicle stamping: The engine number and frame number of the vehicle will then be stamped for identification purposes. Vehicle inspection: Nowadays, most household passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection. If the vehicle is not exempt, it will need to undergo inspections for power, lights, exhaust, brakes, etc. Criminal investigation: Fill out the criminal investigation vehicle inspection data collection form in the criminal investigation inspection room, then submit the stamped numbers and the collection form to the counter staff for data entry. You will receive a criminal investigation vehicle inspection notice from the public security bureau. Vehicle verification: To confirm that the collection form matches the vehicle information, the staff will open the engine hood again to compare the engine number and frame number. Number selection: After all the data has been entered, you can then select a license plate number. Number selection can be done through methods like 10-choose-1 or online. If you choose the 10-choose-1 method, you can get the license plate on the same day. If you choose the online method, you will need to wait a few days to collect it or opt for express delivery to your home, where you can install the license plate yourself. During this period, you will need to apply for a temporary license plate to drive legally. Installation: After selecting the number, the next step is the installation of the motor vehicle license plate. After the new car is registered, you can receive the vehicle license, vehicle registration certificate, and qualification mark. Take the vehicle license and registration certificate to the environmental label window to print the environmental label. After obtaining the environmental label, you can purchase the vehicle and vessel tax. At this time, you will need the original vehicle license, original registration certificate and a copy, original ID card, and purchase invoice and a copy.
I went through quite a hassle when registering my newly bought car. You need to bring the original and photocopy of the car purchase invoice, as well as the original vehicle certification - don't lose these two. Don't forget your original ID card and its photocopy either, it's best if the owner handles it personally. You also need to prepare the compulsory traffic insurance policy - electronic versions are acceptable now, but printing a copy is safest. Make sure not to miss the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, which must be obtained from the tax office before license plate registration. I recommend making an appointment with the DMV in advance, preparing duplicate copies of all documents, as some places also require vehicle photos and a rubbing of the VIN. Remember to wear comfortable shoes - the queues can be tough on your feet.
