Do I need to change the license plate when I transfer the ownership?

Vehicle transfer requires a new license plate. Where the motor vehicle management office needs to change the motor vehicle license plate number when handling the motor vehicle change registration, it shall recover the license plate and driving license, determine the new motor vehicle license plate number, and reissue the license plate, driving license and inspection mark.

What are the conditions for license plate transfer?

The conditions for the transfer of a licence are as follows:

1, the owner of the motor vehicle has owned the original motor vehicle for more than three years;

2. Apply within six months after transfer registration or cancellation of registration;

3, involving the original motor vehicle road traffic safety violations and traffic accidents need to be dealt with.

Legal basis: Article 18 of the Regulations on Motor Vehicle Registration.

The owner of a motor vehicle shall apply to the vehicle management office for vehicle transfer within 30 days. If the owner's residence of a minibus or motorcycle moves out of the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office, it shall apply to the vehicle management office for registration of change.

To apply for motor vehicle transfer, the motor vehicle owner shall confirm the application information, submit the identity certificate and motor vehicle registration certificate, and submit the motor vehicle for inspection. If the motor vehicle is transferred beyond the validity period of the inspection, it shall carry out safety technical inspection in accordance with the provisions, and submit the certificate of motor vehicle safety technical inspection and the compulsory insurance certificate for traffic accident liability.
