Can I Change My License Plate After Successful Online Reservation?
2 Answers
If you have only selected a number online but not registered it, you can make a change. However, if you have already registered at the vehicle management office, you cannot change it. Here are the relevant details: 1. After successfully selecting a number, the license plate number will be reserved for 3 working days: During this period, you are not allowed to select another number online or modify the information already submitted. 2. If you are not satisfied with the license plate number you chose after it has been assigned: You can transfer it to a family member and then choose a new one for yourself, but the resale value of the vehicle will be affected after the transfer. Alternatively, you can choose to cancel it at the vehicle management office.
I just made an online license plate reservation last week, and wanting to make changes after a successful reservation is quite common. Based on my experience, in most DMV systems, modifications are allowed after a successful reservation, but you need to act before confirmation or within a specified time limit. That time, I logged into my account on the platform and found a 'Modify Reservation' option—clicking it allowed me to reselect a plate number or adjust the time. If the deadline passes, you might need to call customer service or visit the window in person. Remember, making too many changes can delay the overall process, so it's best to choose your plate number carefully upfront to avoid hassle later. Also, when modifying a reservation, you’ll need to provide ID and the original reservation record to ensure information consistency and prevent system errors. In short, check the platform rules promptly and don’t wait until the last minute to handle it.
