Procedures for applying to change a seven-seater vehicle to a four-seater: You need to apply at the local vehicle registration office. Only after the application is approved can you drive on the road. If the application is not submitted, the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection. According to the relevant regulations of the traffic management department of the public security authority, the following actions require an application: 1. Changing the body color or replacing the engine, or altering the vehicle body or frame; 2. Changing the use nature of the vehicle, such as converting from a commercial motor vehicle to a non-commercial motor vehicle or vice versa. The application procedures are as follows: 1. The vehicle owner must submit an application to the local vehicle registration office; 2. An application for change registration must be submitted to the vehicle registration office within the specified time after the modification; 3. Before registration, the vehicle design drawings must be submitted, and any traffic safety violations or accidents must be resolved; 4. Failure to apply for the change may result in warnings or fines from the public security traffic management department.
I have modified the number of vehicle seats, changing from seven seats to four seats. Safety risks must be considered first, and removing seats should not affect the vehicle's structural integrity. The necessary procedures must be completed at the local vehicle management office for change registration: bring the owner's ID card, vehicle license, and registration certificate to the counter to fill out an application form, then undergo a vehicle safety inspection to prove the modification complies with regulations, which may cost a few hundred yuan. Last time I did this, it took several days. If not done, the annual inspection will fail, and you may face fines. Do not dismantle the seats randomly; it is recommended to seek guidance from a professional modification shop to save space and avoid unexpected issues. After modification, regularly check the seat belts and anchor points to ensure they are secure.
