Will the license plate be changed when transferring a vehicle between spouses in Tianjin?

Vehicle transfer will result in a license plate change. Vehicle evaluation: Before proceeding with a vehicle exchange, it is advisable to research the vehicle's price online or through other channels based on its configuration, model year, and other relevant information. Complete documentation: During the exchange process, attention should also be paid to documentation. The transfer procedures must be complete, and the terms and agreements signed with the 4S dealership should be carefully reviewed. After the official transaction during the transfer stage, the owner can request the dealer to provide copies of the post-transfer transaction receipt, registration certificate, and copies of the road tax and insurance transfer documents. New vehicle license plate: After the exchange is completed, if the owner wishes to retain the original license plate for the new vehicle, the dealer can handle the license plate cancellation procedure. It is important to note that exchanges at 4S dealerships usually come with exchange subsidies, and the subsidy amount varies depending on the vehicle model.
Last year, I helped a relative with the procedure for transferring a vehicle between spouses in Tianjin. Whether the license plate needs to be changed depends on the specific situation. At that time, we brought the marriage certificate, both parties' ID cards, and the vehicle registration certificate to the DMV. The staff explained that if the couple is on the same household register or has marriage certification, they can keep the original license plate; otherwise, a new plate is required. Tianjin's policy is quite considerate, avoiding extra hassle. The whole process took half a day, with a cost of around two to three hundred yuan. It's recommended to make an appointment in advance to save time. I'm sharing this experience because many people worry about the inconvenience of changing license plates affecting daily use, but in the end, we successfully retained the original plate. Remember to update the vehicle license and insurance details after the transfer.
