Can expired license plate numbers be self-composed?
2 Answers
Expired license plate numbers cannot be self-composed. Unconfirmed numbers that have expired will be returned to the random number pool within 90-120 days of expiration. Here are the precautions for online license plate selection: 1. The pre-selection of license plate numbers includes two stages: 1. Basic information entry stage. 2. Pre-selection of license plate numbers stage. 2. Each vehicle can compose up to 20 license plate numbers and randomly select numbers 5 times in total. 3. The pre-selection of license plate numbers for new vehicle registration supports both self-composed selection and random selection methods. The pre-selection of license plate numbers for new energy vehicle license plate replacement only supports the random selection method.
Last time my buddy was picking a license plate for his new car and ran into the same issue. Turns out, vehicles with overdue license status can't even access the plate selection system. The lady at the DMV put it bluntly: cars with unpaid fines or road maintenance fees are essentially blacklisted by the system, and you must clear all violations and annual inspections first. When I accompanied him to the bank to pay the fees, the staff suggested logging into the 12123 app three days in advance to check the penalty decision numbers. You can then handle it on-site by swiping your ID card for self-service processing. A special reminder: nowadays, the license plate pool for new energy vehicles is separate from that of fuel-powered cars. The self-selection number segments are updated on the 1st of each month. If a car is spotted with overdue fees still pending, the traffic police's handheld terminal will automatically trigger an alert when scanned.
