Beijing multi-vehicle transfer applications take 3-10 working days to be approved. Normally, the application will be processed within three working days (excluding the day of submission) after system submission. The required time may vary depending on different regions. Vehicle owners can check the progress of their application through the online progress tracking system using the online motor vehicle transfer service serial number. Generally, subsequent transfer procedures can be completed at the local vehicle management office within ten working days. Application method: Apply for transfer through the website of the Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform of the provincial traffic control bureau. The same operation can also be performed on mobile phones. Transfer registration to children or parents: For individuals with multiple vehicles (those with only one vehicle cannot apply) who wish to transfer vehicles to their children or parents, they must submit an application through the Beijing Passenger Car Quota Regulation Management Information System. After approval and obtaining the verification results, the transfer registration can be processed through transaction transfer or gift notarization. Both the registered vehicle owner and the transferee must go to the designated location to complete the transfer registration.
Last time I handled a multi-vehicle transfer application in Beijing, the average review time was about 5 working days, with a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 7 days. This depends on several key factors: whether the documents are complete is crucial, as missing even one material can easily cause delays; the season and peak periods also have a significant impact, such as increased queues at year-end or when new car policies are updated; the submission method matters too—on-site processing may take longer, but applying online through the traffic management APP can be faster. Personally, I recommend preparing all original and photocopied documents in advance, avoiding Mondays or peak periods for submission, and registering on the official APP to track progress. Also, pay attention to the vehicle condition review—if there are historical issues, the review may be extended, so ensure everything is compliant.
From what I remember, helping others with multi-vehicle transfer applications in Beijing usually took around 4-6 days to complete. One time when documents were incomplete, it took two extra days after resubmission. During peak periods like before National Day, it gets much busier, so I'd recommend visiting the service hall during quieter times. Remember that making an appointment can reduce waiting time. You'll get an SMS notification after approval, but don't worry if it's occasionally delayed when the system is overloaded. Personally, I think a safe driving record can also affect efficiency - maintaining a good background check makes things faster. Checking the status on the APP is quite convenient.
