When is the Vehicle License Obtained?
2 Answers
The motor vehicle license is issued simultaneously upon completion of new vehicle registration. Below are specific details about the motor vehicle license: 1. Function: Article 17 of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations" promulgated by the State Council stipulates: "Vehicles must pass inspection by the vehicle management authority and obtain license plates and a vehicle license before they are permitted to operate." Therefore, possession of the "Motor Vehicle License" is one of the prerequisites for a vehicle to be driven on the road. It is a violation for drivers to operate a vehicle without carrying the license, whether it is due to not having obtained the "Motor Vehicle License" or forgetting to bring it. 2. Information: The "Motor Vehicle License" held by the driver contains detailed important information, including the license plate number, owner's name, model type, engine number and chassis number, permitted load capacity or passenger capacity, initial registration date, and annual inspection records. The "Motor Vehicle License" is unique in that for any given motor vehicle, there is only one set of engine and chassis numbers and only one license plate number.
When I first bought my new car, I was so excited that I went to the DMV the next day to complete the paperwork. I filled out a bunch of forms and brought my ID, car purchase invoice, and vehicle certification. In less than half a day, I got the vehicle license. It's like the car's ID card—without it, you can't even pass the annual inspection. Later, I realized I should always keep it with the insurance policy so I can prove the car is legal if checked. Every time I drive out, I make sure it's in the car to avoid trouble during roadside inspections. Don’t underestimate this little booklet—getting it right after buying the car can save you a lot of hassle.
