2 Answers
It takes some time to process the official license plates for a vehicle. During this period, if the driver wants to drive on the road, they can apply for temporary license plates at the vehicle management office. Below is the relevant information for applying for temporary license plates: Materials Required: Original and photocopy of the vehicle qualification certificate (import certificate for imported vehicles); Original and photocopy of the third copy of compulsory traffic insurance; Original and photocopy of the owner's identity proof; If applying through an agent, original and photocopy of the agent's ID card are required. Types of Temporary License Plates: Temporary license plates within administrative jurisdiction, temporary license plates across administrative jurisdictions, temporary license plates for test vehicles, and temporary license plates for special vehicles.
As a new driver who just got my license, I only realized the importance of temporary license plates after buying a car last month. I quickly searched online and asked friends. I learned that in most places, you can go to the DMV to apply, just bring your ID card, vehicle purchase invoice, and compulsory insurance documents. The cost is low, just over ten yuan. I rushed to the local DMV, waited in line for half a day, filled out forms, submitted the documents, and it was done. The temporary license plate is valid for about 15 days, remember to stick it in a visible position on the front windshield to avoid being fined by traffic police. Additionally, 4S shops can also handle it for you, but spending an extra 50-100 yuan isn’t worth it. New drivers should prepare the materials in advance to avoid being flustered like I was initially. Now everyone suggests handling it early for convenience on the road.
