Do I need to go to the DMV myself after buying a car from a 4S store?

You can choose to go or not. According to relevant regulations, the owner does not have to be present for new car registration, as long as the provided ID card matches the name and ID number on the car purchase invoice. Therefore, whether to go to the DMV with the 4S store staff is entirely up to the owner's preference. Below is relevant information: 1. How long does it take for a 4S store to handle registration: Generally, all procedures for new car registration can be completed within one day. If you hand over the car to the 4S store the night before, the staff usually return the registered car by the next afternoon. However, if there are many people registering cars locally, the queuing process may extend the time, possibly taking 3 to 4 days. 2. Precautions for 4S store registration: (1) Generally, 4S stores charge a considerable fee for registration services, and the price varies depending on the store. If the owner is familiar with the registration process and has time to handle it, there is no need to ask the 4S store for assistance. (2) Since 4S stores prioritize speed in registration, staff may not carefully select license plate numbers during the process and often choose the first available number. If the owner wants a preferred license plate number, it is best to select it online in advance or go to the DMV in person to choose.
