Can Electric Vehicle Registration Be Completed in One Day?
2 Answers
Yes. New vehicle registration can be completed in one day. Citizens who bring all the required documents for new vehicle inspection and complete the relevant procedures at the service window can finish the process in at most half a day. For dealerships handling new vehicle registration on behalf of customers, since scheduling an inspection takes time, it requires more time compared to self-processing by citizens, but the slowest completion time is within 15 days. Materials required for new vehicle registration include: the owner's ID card (non-local residents also need to provide residence information), the motor vehicle sales invoice, the motor vehicle factory certificate or import certificate, the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, and the motor vehicle compulsory insurance policy. If an agent is handling the registration, a power of attorney and the agent's ID are also required.
Whether you can complete the electric vehicle license plate registration in one day mainly depends on how well you prepare in advance and the specific situation on the day. The place for license plate registration is usually called the Vehicle Management Office. You need to queue up early in the morning and bring all the required documents, such as your ID card, vehicle invoice, and insurance policy. For electric vehicles, you also need an emission compliance certificate for the green license plate. If all the materials are complete and there aren’t many people, you can finish the entire process—selecting the plate number, taking photos, and receiving the plate—in half a day. However, if it’s peak time or you’re missing some documents, you might have to make multiple trips. I remember a friend who was in a hurry to drive his new car. He made an appointment in advance and got everything done by the afternoon—it went smoothly. In short, it’s best to check the official account or website of your local Vehicle Management Office for details beforehand to avoid wasting time.
