Can I reject the online license plate selection on 12123 if I'm not satisfied?

12123 online license plate selection cannot be rejected if you are not satisfied. You can only wait until the 15-day validity period of the license plate expires, and then bring the required vehicle documents to the DMV to select a new plate and complete the registration. The following points should be noted for new vehicle license plate selection: 1. Validity period of pre-selected plates: After successful pre-selection, the plate number will be reserved for three working days starting from the next day (extended for holidays and weekends). If registration is not completed within this period, the selected plate will become invalid, and online selection will be prohibited. Vehicles that have successfully selected a plate number are not allowed to re-select or modify information online. 2. Information entry requirements: The vehicle owner must accurately enter the ID number, vehicle identification code, and other relevant information, and carefully verify it. If the entered information does not match the relevant documents, the selected plate will be invalid. 3. Printing the pre-selection voucher: The vehicle owner can print the pre-selection voucher after successful selection. During registration, the owner must inform the processing officer about the online selection and submit the pre-selection voucher. If printing fails during selection, the owner can log in again to print it.
I also struggled with this when I first selected my license plate. Actually, there are two stages to choosing a plate on the 12123 platform: self-selection and random selection. Before final confirmation, all numbers are just temporarily reserved. There's a countdown in the upper right corner of the page—as long as you don't click the confirmation button within the time limit (usually 3 days), the system will automatically release these numbers, and it won't affect your later 50-choose-1 option at the DMV. What you really need to be careful about is hitting the confirmation button—that's when the plate gets bound to your ID. If you don’t want it, the DMV says you’ll be blacklisted and barred from online selection for two years! Last year, my neighbor accidentally confirmed a plate with the letters 'SB' and now covers his face every day on the way to work...
