What procedures are required to replace old license plates with new ones?
2 Answers
The vehicle owner needs to bring their ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and driving license. To replace old car license plates with new ones, the vehicle must be inspected at the vehicle management office. The function of license plates: License plates serve as identification numbers and information registration for vehicles. Their main purpose is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs, and they can also be used to look up the vehicle's owner and registration details. The plate number changes ownership with the sale of the vehicle until the vehicle is scrapped, at which point the plate number is also retired. Installation of license plates: License plates are plates mounted on the front and rear of the vehicle, typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information.
I've also experienced changing license plates for my own car. First, you need to prepare some documents, such as your ID card, the original vehicle license, and the vehicle registration certificate. Then, take the old license plates to the local vehicle management office. After arriving, fill out an application form and state the reason for the replacement, such as rusted plates or illegible characters. The staff will verify the information. If the old plates are severely damaged, they may need to inspect the vehicle on the spot to confirm the condition. The cost is usually around 100 to 200 yuan, with slight variations depending on the location. After completing the procedures, wait a few days for the new plates to be ready for pickup. It's recommended to go during the off-season in the morning when there are fewer people, making the process faster. Driving with old plates can easily lead to misidentification by cameras, potentially resulting in fines, so don't delay and handle it promptly for a more worry-free driving experience.
