How Long Does It Take to Get License Plates for a Used Car?
1 Answers
It typically takes about one business day to obtain license plates for a used car. Here are three tips for identifying license plates: 1. Observe the font: While the font of motor vehicle license plates follows a national standard, they are not uniformly produced nationwide. Therefore, the size and structure of the fonts may vary, but each province has its own characteristics in license plate production. Upon close inspection, these differences can be discerned. Genuine plates, i.e., officially issued ones, feature uniquely designed fonts with intellectual property rights, offering a visually pleasing appearance. Counterfeit plates often have a bluish or yellowish background color, with fonts that appear either too thin or too thick, or exhibit irregularities at the curves. 2. Examine the coloring: The quality and composition of the paint used for the base of the plate can differ, resulting in variations between genuine and counterfeit plates. Genuine plates use imported paint applied through a roller process, ensuring even coloring only on the raised parts. Counterfeit plates are often hand-painted with a brush, leading to uneven coloring and visible brush strokes. Additionally, paint may be found in recessed areas, giving a rough overall appearance. 3. Check the reflectivity: Genuine plates do not reflect sunlight but do reflect under direct artificial light. Counterfeit plates may appear shiny at certain angles under sunlight but remain dull and non-reflective under direct artificial light.
