Can 4S stores issue temporary license plates during the National Day holiday?
2 Answers
4S stores cannot issue temporary license plates during the National Day holiday. The license plate processing services at 4S stores are synchronized with the vehicle management offices. Since the vehicle management offices are closed during the National Day holiday, 4S stores also have no authority to process license plates. Introduction to temporary license plates: Temporary license plates are paper-based vehicle license plates issued by the public security vehicle management authorities, allowing vehicles to be driven on the road temporarily before official registration. They are temporary vehicle driving certificates issued for newly purchased vehicles before formal registration. The validity period of temporary license plates generally does not exceed thirty days. Passing through highway toll stations with temporary license plates: When entering a highway toll station, the owner only needs to take the manual lane to pick up a card (or use an automatic card dispenser). After exiting the highway, return the card to the staff and pay the fee.
Whether 4S stores can issue temporary license plates during the National Day holiday depends on the specific situation. Generally speaking, most 4S stores will have special business arrangements during holidays, especially during the peak National Day promotion season. Many stores may choose to open and provide partial services, including temporary license plate processing. I often encounter similar issues after buying a car. It is recommended that you contact the local 4S store directly before planning to purchase a car and ask about their holiday business hours and agency capabilities. Since temporary license plates require approval from the vehicle management office, if the vehicle management office is closed during the holiday, the 4S store may also be unable to process them immediately. Don’t wait until the holiday to go; making an appointment one or two days in advance is safer. Otherwise, it could cause major delays in your travel plans. At the same time, there are many car buyers during the holiday, and waiting times can be long. You can choose online communication or check store announcements to avoid unnecessary trips and ensure your new car can hit the road smoothly.
