If you want to keep your original license plate number, you must first dispose of your old car before attaching the original license plate number to the new car. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," the original owner must meet the following conditions to apply for the use of the original license plate number: 1. First, the owner must have owned the original motor vehicle for more than three years. If the original owner used the vehicle for less than three years, they are not eligible to apply for retaining the original license plate. 2. Second, the application must be submitted within six months after completing the transfer or cancellation registration. In other words, after transferring the vehicle to a new owner or scrapping it, you only have six months to purchase a new car and apply. 3. Lastly, any traffic violations or accidents involving the original motor vehicle must be resolved. If there were any traffic violations or unpaid fines related to the original vehicle, all fines must be paid, and no unresolved accidents should remain before applying to retain the original license plate number. 4. Additionally, the owner must purchase a new car to retain the original license plate number. If the new vehicle purchased by the original owner is a used car, retaining the original license plate number is not permitted.
