New Car License Plates Can Be Selected via Online Portal 'Automcha365'

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] From now on, users will be able to select their desired new car license plate numbers on the 'Car365' online site.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Transportation Safety Authority announced on the 15th that they have introduced ▲car license plate selection function ▲simplified payment service for stamp tax to enhance the convenience of Car365 users.

Car365 is an online portal that provides car information and allows convenient processing of car registration tasks such as new registration and transfer, established and operated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport since 2017.

Until now, when applying for new car registration through Car365, one random registration number was assigned. In contrast, when applying for new registration by visiting the registration office in person, applicants could choose one desired number from 10 registration numbers.

Also, when registering a new car, applicants had to individually purchase electronic revenue stamps and submit them to the registration office, which caused inconvenience as the office had to verify each submission separately.

Starting from the 22nd, car owners will be able to select one desired number from 10 registration numbers even when registering a new car through Car365.

If car manufacturers purchase electronic revenue stamps in bulk in advance from the electronic revenue stamp agency (Korea Trade Network), the system will automatically verify the payment, simplifying the stamp tax payment service.

Lee Joong-gi, Director of the Automobile Operation and Insurance Division at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, "As demand for non-face-to-face services is increasing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to promote institutional improvements to activate online car registration."
