12123 issues temporary license plates through mail delivery, and self-pickup is not available. The specific details about temporary license plates are as follows: 1. Definition: A temporary license plate is a paper motor vehicle license plate that permits temporary road use, also known as a temporary driving license plate. It is a temporary vehicle driving certificate issued by the public security vehicle management department for newly purchased vehicles before official registration. The validity period of a temporary license plate generally does not exceed thirty days. 2. Types: There are four types of temporary license plates: temporary license plates for administrative jurisdictions, temporary license plates for cross-administrative jurisdictions, temporary license plates for testing purposes, and temporary license plates for special-type motor vehicles.

I recently applied for a temporary license plate on the 12123 APP, and it's indeed possible to pick it up in person. The process is quite simple: After logging into the APP, select the temporary license plate application under vehicle services, fill in the vehicle information, and then you'll have the option to choose a pickup location or delivery. I picked a nearby vehicle management office. Then, wait for the approval notification and bring your ID card and original vehicle registration certificate to pick it up on-site. The advantage is that it's super fast—I applied in the morning and could pick it up in the afternoon without waiting for delivery. However, be mindful of the pickup location's business hours; avoid going on holidays to prevent long queues. If you forget essential documents like the original certificate, the trip would be wasted, so it's advisable to call ahead and confirm the required materials. Overall, picking it up in person is quite convenient, especially for those in urgent need.

I applied for a temporary license plate via 12123 and chose self-pickup, which I found extremely practical. The app process was smooth—after selecting a pickup point, the system automatically assigned the nearest DMV. Just bring the required documents, and you're good to go. Self-pickup saves on shipping fees and eliminates the wait, especially helpful when I was rushing for a business trip and got it done the same day. However, it's best to check the DMV's peak hours before heading there. Last time I went, it wasn't crowded, but I've heard some locations require queuing. Also, make sure to bring all necessary materials, like the vehicle license and a copy of the purchase invoice, to avoid mistakes. Overall, self-pickup is efficient but requires a bit of time planning, offering more control than mailing.

Applying for a temporary license plate on 12123 allows you to choose between self-pickup or mailing. Self-pickup is usually faster: after applying, select the local vehicle management office as the pickup point, and once the system approves, bring your documents to collect it, which takes about half a day. The main materials required are your ID card and vehicle license—don’t forget them. The pickup point is typically the nearest vehicle management office service hall. I recommend it because it saves money and time, but distance can be an issue, making mailing more convenient. Ensure the information filled in the APP is accurate to avoid any delays.
