The restrictions on car purchase indicators in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places have caused many car owners who want to buy a car a headache. Some car owners are very impressed with the license plate number of their old cars. What should I do after selling my old car? Can I keep them?

If a car is sold, the original motor vehicle owner can directly apply for updating the index without participating in the lottery. Within 6 months after obtaining the updated index, if the application conditions of the original license plate number are met, the owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering the newly purchased motor vehicle.

There are three conditions that need to be met to keep the license plate:

(1) Apply within six months after registration of transfer or cancellation;

(two) the owner of the motor vehicle has owned the original motor vehicle for more than three years;

(3) Road traffic safety violations and traffic accidents involving the original motor vehicles have been dealt with. The original license plate is managed by the vehicle management office.

What about the license plate after selling used cars? As long as the owner meets the above three conditions, he can successfully keep the license plate of the old car and use it on the newly purchased new car. Remind consumers that the reserved license plate can only be used in new cars. If the owner buys a used car, he will not be able to continue to use the old license plate.
