There is no Chinese ID card, only a passport
Can I apply for an electric vehicle number plate?
Hohhot traffic police gave the answer
……
Since September 7, 2021, the Hohhot Municipal Public Security Bureau has carried out the anti-theft registration and listing of electric vehicles in the city. Carrying out the anti-theft registration and listing of electric vehicles is a measure to facilitate the people and benefit the people, which is not only conducive to the standardized management of electric vehicles, but also conducive to preventing and cracking down on electric vehicle theft cases, and effectively maintaining traffic order and the safety of people's property.
At 15:00 on the afternoon of February 7, 2022, a foreign friend looked east and west at the traffic police booth in Genghis Khan Park under the jurisdiction of the sixth squadron of the New Town Traffic Management Brigade in Hohhot. Zhang Qiang, an auxiliary police officer on duty of the Sixth Squadron, used his Chinese to communicate with him, but the foreign friend could not understand it at all. Subsequently, Wang Feiling, a police officer of the Sixth Squadron, made a move and let Zhang Qiang use the mobile phone translation software to communicate with this foreign friend. Through the translator, it was learned that Marty is from England and is now working at the Inner Mongolia University of Finance and Economics, he bought an electric bicycle, came to the traffic police booth to give the vehicle a license plate, but did not know what procedures were needed.
Because the electric vehicle license plate entry system can only identify the IDENTITY card of Chinese citizens, while the foreign friend Marty can only provide a passport and cannot enter the system. The immediate problem suddenly made Zhang Qiang difficult, after all, such a situation was still the first time he had encountered it. The masses' affairs are no small matter, adhering to the concept of "everything is people-centered" and "we must let the masses run less, do it immediately, do it nearby, and do it once", auxiliary police officer Zhang Qiang patiently explained with this foreign friend, and immediately got in touch with the person in charge of the electric bicycle at the higher level to explain the situation, and his personal information passed the verification after a few minutes.
When parting, auxiliary police officer Zhang Qiang reminded Marty to develop good habits such as wearing a helmet, not retrograde, not running a red light, and not crossing the line to stop at the intersection, so as to achieve civilized driving.
