Can scrapped car license plates be transferred to others?
The license plate number cannot be transferred to others, and it can only be scrapped or applied for retention.
Vehicles can be transferred, as long as you bring the original and copy of your ID card. The original license plate can only be transferred to the owner's new car information, not to others. However, there is a special case. Couples can transfer the license plate to each other with their marriage certificate, and the other party can get the license plate without drawing lots or bidding. This special transfer only applies to married couples. Both parties need to bring their marriage certificate, ID card, registration certificate and driver's license, and drive to the vehicle management office to handle the change procedures.
How long will the license plate number of scrapped cars be kept?
Scrap car license plates can be kept for 2 years. According to the relevant regulations, when a car is scrapped, if the original car has been used for more than one year, the original license plate can be retained. However, at present, the national compulsory scrapping policy has been cancelled, which means that private cars have no scrapping period.
It should be noted that this retention time is mainly calculated from the date of vehicle registration cancellation. For example, on February 1 day, 2022, an application for vehicle cancellation was filed, and at the same time, an application for retaining the license plate was filed. That is to say, before February 1 day, 2024, all new cars or used cars purchased by car owners can use the previously retained license plates. After this time, you need to apply for a new license plate.
How to deal with the license plate when the car is scrapped
Under normal circumstances, the vehicle management office will recover the license plate number after the vehicle is scrapped. If you still need to use the license plate number, you should apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate when you re-apply for new vehicle registration after the vehicle registration is cancelled.
According to the relevant regulations, as long as the motor vehicle meets the national compulsory scrapping standards, the owner needs to fill in the relevant application form and submit the motor vehicle registration certificate, driving license and license plate number. In this way, the motor vehicle recycling enterprise will dismantle the motor vehicle as long as it is determined, and then issue a certificate of recycling of scrapped motor vehicles to the owner.
Under normal circumstances, a motor vehicle recycling enterprise shall, within 7 days after the disintegration of a motor vehicle, submit an application form, a motor vehicle registration certificate, a license plate, a driving license and a copy of the certificate of recycling scrapped motor vehicles to dmv to apply for cancellation of registration.
