Who assigns the license plate to a new vehicle at the time of registration?
Traffic safety: Plates
Explanation
The **Provincial Traffic Headquarters** is the entity responsible for providing the **license plate** to a new vehicle when it is registered. The license plate is a set of letters and numbers that uniquely identifies each vehicle. This identification is engraved on a metal plate that is placed on the vehicle.
- All motor vehicles, including mopeds and certain trailers, must have a license plate.
- The license plate is essential for the **circulation permit**, a document that contains, among other data, the vehicle's license plate number.
- The Traffic Headquarters also manages any changes in the vehicle owner's data, such as name or address changes, and is responsible for renewing the circulation permit when the vehicle changes ownership.
Therefore, it is the Provincial Traffic Headquarters that assigns and manages vehicle license plates, not the General Directorate of Traffic nor the dealership where the vehicle is purchased.
