Do I need a new license to buy a used car?

Legal analysis: if you buy a second-hand car, you need to re-license it yourself. After the car is bought back, according to the validity period of the temporary license plate, it is generally 15 to 30 days before it must be licensed. When the second-hand car is transferred, the vehicle management office will cancel the vehicle driving license and number plate, and issue a new number plate and vehicle driving license to the transferee. Vehicle transfer must have the original purchase invoice, motor vehicle registration certificate, original owner's ID card, vehicle purchase tax certificate and a copy of the original owner's ID card. In the same area, if the original owner sells the license plate, even the license plate is given, just go to the vehicle management office to transfer the ownership.
