Can I Get the License Plate on the Same Day When Choosing a New Car Number?
2 Answers
If you choose the "10 choose 1" method for selecting a license plate number, you can usually get the plate on the same day. There are several ways to choose a license plate number: These include the "10 choose 1" method, self-selection, and online selection. If you opt for the "10 choose 1" method, you can typically receive the license plate immediately. However, if you choose the self-selection or online selection methods, you will need to wait for 15 working days to get your license plate. Rules for using temporary license plates: There are also requirements for using temporary license plates; they cannot just be placed randomly on the dashboard. According to regulations, two temporary license plates should be affixed: one should be placed on the upper right corner of the front windshield inside the car, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view and should not be covered by the compulsory insurance label. The other should be placed on the upper left corner of the rear windshield inside the car.
I just picked up my new car recently and specifically chose a weekday morning to go to the DMV for license plate registration. I brought my ID, car purchase invoice, vehicle certificate, and compulsory insurance policy, and went straight to the self-service machine to select a plate number. The system gave me fifty options, and I picked one that looked good. The staff said those who selected their plates in the morning could get them the same day, and sure enough, two hours later, I was called to the counter to collect my metal plates. However, when I accompanied my friend on a weekend last time, it was a nightmare—the place was packed with long queues. By the time it was his turn, it was already 3 PM, and the plate-making office had closed for the day. In the end, his license plate was mailed to his home. If you want to get your plates the same day, you really have to go early, and it's best to avoid peak periods like the end of the month or the end of the year.
