Does the 4S store provide the vehicle license when picking up the car?

When picking up the car, the 4S store does not provide the vehicle license because the 4S store does not have the authority to issue the vehicle license. The following is relevant information about the vehicle license: 1. Concept: The motor vehicle license is the legal document that permits the motor vehicle to drive on the roads within China. The vehicle license consists of three parts: the document holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page is the signed certificate core, and the back is the photo of the motor vehicle, which is sealed with a plastic cover. The supplementary page is the signed certificate core. 2. Function: The vehicle license verification system can verify and compare the authenticity of the motor vehicle, query motor vehicle information, and provide you with travel safety assurance. You only need to enter the basic information of the motor vehicle in the system to verify whether the motor vehicle is real. If the information matches, you can also check other information of the motor vehicle.

I've bought several cars before, and I've never seen a dealership directly hand over the vehicle license at the time of pickup. The vehicle license is an important document that proves the car is legally registered for road use, and it must be issued by the vehicle management office. After the sale, the dealership will help you with the registration process, which takes a few days to complete. On the day of pickup, they usually give you the keys, a temporary moving permit, and the purchase invoice. These temporary documents allow you to drive the car home, but the vehicle license will be mailed to you or you'll be notified to pick it up later. The last time I bought a car, I waited three days before receiving a text message to collect the license from the dealership. I recommend asking about their process when picking up the car, and also checking that the insurance policy and other receipts are complete to avoid missing anything. If there are delays, call the dealership promptly to avoid any issues while driving. Remember, these steps are mandated by national regulations—just be patient.

The vehicle license is a legal document issued by the DMV, and the 4S dealership cannot provide it directly upon vehicle pickup. They assist with the registration process, which includes tax payment, vehicle inspection, and approval. The DMV issues the license only after these procedures are completed. Therefore, on the day of pickup, you'll need to use a temporary moving permit to drive the car. From personal experience, this usually takes anywhere from one or two days to a week. If the 4S dealership delays the process, follow up promptly. Make sure to review the purchase contract carefully to ensure all steps are transparent.

I was really looking forward to picking up the car last time and thought I could get the vehicle license immediately, but the salesperson said I needed to wait for the DMV to process it. The vehicle license is issued after the vehicle registration is confirmed. On the day I picked up the car, I got the keys and a temporary permit. My friend who bought a car last year also experienced the same thing, and it was mailed to his home a few days later. It's advisable to keep communication lines open and clarify with the 4S store how they will notify you. If the documents are incomplete, driving poses significant risks, so don't rush onto the highway.
