Where to Go for the Vehicle License After Transfer?
2 Answers
After the transfer, the vehicle license needs to be returned to the vehicle management office to reprint a new one. Transfer Requirements: To process the vehicle transfer procedures, all previous traffic violations must be settled, the vehicle must pass inspection, and the vehicle must be present. Both the buyer and seller must bring their respective IDs and vehicle documents (such as the vehicle registration certificate and vehicle license) and visit the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to inquire and process the transfer. Relevant Laws: "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations": Article 13: If the motor vehicle owner's residence moves out of the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office, the office shall, within three days of acceptance, annotate the changes on the motor vehicle registration certificate, reclaim the license plate and vehicle license, issue a temporary vehicle license plate valid for 30 days, and hand over the vehicle files to the owner. The owner must apply for vehicle transfer at the vehicle management office of their new residence within the validity period of the temporary license plate.
Just helped a friend with this a few days ago. After the vehicle transfer, you can collect the new vehicle license directly at the DMV—it's issued on the spot. Remember to bring your ID card and the acceptance receipt from the transfer process, as they need to verify the information. If you're too busy to go, opt for the mail service during the transfer process—just fill in the address, and the postal service will deliver it to your door, usually within 3-5 days. Some places also allow you to check the progress on the Traffic Management 12123 App. Don’t go to used car markets to collect the license—I’ve seen people waste a whole day going to the wrong place. When you get the new license, double-check the name and license plate number. If anything’s wrong, have them correct it immediately.
