What materials are needed for vehicle registration?
2 Answers
The documents required for vehicle registration include: 1. Original and photocopy of ID card (if handling for someone else, both your ID and the vehicle owner's ID must be brought); 2. Original and photocopy of invoice; 3. Original and photocopy of vehicle certificate; 4. Original and photocopy of compulsory insurance policy; 5. Tax payment certificate. The vehicle certificate is an important document certifying the vehicle's compliance with standards and is mandatory for new vehicle registration. It is usually provided by the 4S shop when purchasing a car. However, some 4S shops might delay providing the vehicle certificate, so it's important to obtain and keep it properly for registration purposes.
I just bought a new car and went to get it registered. The whole process was actually quite simple as long as the main documents were prepared. Remember to bring the original ID card and its photocopy, and don’t lose the car purchase invoice—it’s key proof that you bought the car. Also, the vehicle certificate of conformity must be obtained from the dealer, and it’s best to make a photocopy as backup. The insurance policy, especially compulsory traffic insurance, must be brought along, or the DMV won’t process your application. The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate is also important—get it done in advance at the tax office. Additionally, take a photo of the vehicle as backup, as some places require photos in a fixed format. Oh, and if you’re from out of town, you might need to prepare a temporary residence permit or similar proof of residence. Anyway, I had to make two trips because I didn’t make enough photocopies, so I recommend preparing all the photocopies a day in advance and putting them in a folder to save yourself the hassle of running back and forth. Don’t forget to check the validity of each document—if anything expires, you’ll have to reapply, which wastes time and dampens your mood.
