What Materials Are Needed for Electric Vehicle Registration?

For electric vehicle registration, you need to drive the car to the registration office and bring the invoice, certificate of conformity, ID card, and driver's license. Below are the relevant details about vehicle registration: 1. Purchase invoice: vehicle certificate of conformity, ID card or organization code certificate and its copy used for issuing the invoice, compulsory insurance policy, tax payment certificate, temporary residence permit for non-locals, payment of vehicle purchase tax, submission of materials (copy of ID card or organization code certificate used for issuing the invoice, copy of vehicle certificate of conformity, copy of the first page of the purchase invoice, and tax declaration form). However, the original first page of the invoice and the original vehicle certificate of conformity must be brought. 2. Notes: take photos, grind the code, print the motor vehicle parameter table, and indicate on the original certificate of conformity whether the vehicle needs to go through the inspection line; external inspection, go through the inspection line if required, otherwise get the serial number; file submission, take photos of the number, pay the fee, 225 for going through the inspection line, 125 for not going; registration, affix the environmental card, and receive the driving license and vehicle registration certificate.

I recently helped my sister register her electric vehicle, and there were quite a few documents to prepare. First, the original ID card and its photocopy are essential. The original purchase invoice must also be brought along, as it serves as crucial proof of the vehicle's origin. The original vehicle certification is particularly important—don’t lose it. You also need to purchase compulsory traffic insurance in advance and bring the original policy. Currently, most electric vehicles are tax-exempt, but you must obtain a tax exemption certificate from the tax department. The most commonly overlooked items are the vehicle photo and the frame number rubbing sheet—I recommend having the dealership handle these directly. Additionally, the vehicle management office requires photocopies of the ID card, so it’s best to prepare several copies in advance. If someone else is handling the registration for you, remember to prepare a letter of authorization and bring the agent’s ID card. I suggest calling the local vehicle management office in advance to confirm the specific requirements, as they may vary slightly by region. Having all the documents ready beforehand can save a lot of time.

When registering my electric scooter, I found the material preparation quite straightforward. The original ID card is required, and don't forget to prepare one or two copies. The original purchase invoice and vehicle certificate are the core documents – I recommend keeping them in a waterproof document pouch. The compulsory traffic insurance policy also needs to be ready; while electronic policies can be checked on mobile phones nowadays, it's better to print a hard copy as backup. Electric vehicle registration is basically exempt from purchase tax, but you'll need that blue tax exemption certificate. The DMV also requires vehicle photos and a rubbing of the frame number, which I did on-site at the registration point. If you can't handle the errands yourself, you'll need to sign a power of attorney when appointing someone to handle it for you. The whole process was actually quite smooth – the main thing is not to forget any paper documents.

The list of materials required for license plate registration is quite clear: the owner's ID card (original + copy), the original purchase invoice, and the original vehicle factory certificate. Compulsory insurance policy is essential, and a tax exemption certificate should be provided for purchase tax. Photos of the vehicle and a rubbing of the chassis number are required, and the vehicle management office usually has specialized equipment for this. If applying through an agent, the agent's ID card and a power of attorney must be brought. All document information must be consistent to avoid delays.

The registration process for electric vehicles has been greatly simplified now, with only about five or six core documents required. The original ID card and its photocopy are essential for identity verification, while the car purchase invoice and vehicle certificate prove the vehicle's origin. The compulsory traffic insurance policy is already digitized, just print it out. Purchase tax is usually exempt, so just bring the tax exemption certificate. Some regions no longer require mandatory photo imprinting, as the vehicle management office directly collects information on-site. My biggest takeaway when registering was to make an appointment in advance on the traffic police app, prepare all original documents in a bag to bring along, and the entire process was completed in half an hour. Recently, new policies have introduced electronic documents, so there may be even fewer paper materials in the future.
