What to Do If the Temporary License Plate Expires?
1 Answers
If the formal license plate has not been processed yet, you need to apply for another temporary license plate. New cars cannot use temporary license plates for more than 15 days, and the owner should promptly apply for a formal license plate from the vehicle management authority. Each vehicle can apply for a maximum of 3 temporary license plates, which means the longest duration should not exceed 45 days. Below is the relevant information about temporary license plates: 1. Required application materials. (1) Original and photocopy of the vehicle qualification certificate (imported vehicles require import certificates); (2) Original and photocopy of the third copy of the compulsory traffic insurance; (3) Original and photocopy of the first copy of the car purchase invoice; (4) Original and photocopy of the owner's identity proof (if processed by an agent, the agent's original ID and photocopy are required); (5) Non-local owners need the original and photocopy of the temporary residence permit. 2. Relevant precautions. Driving a vehicle with an expired temporary license plate will result in penalties such as vehicle impoundment, fines, and a 12-point deduction. If a traffic accident occurs while driving with an expired or counterfeit temporary license plate, the insurance claim may not be processed smoothly.
