Shenzhen vehicle inspection usually takes fifteen days to get the license plate, as long as you go to the license plate issuance hall to collect the vehicle license plate and driving license, you can install it on the car. The following is a detailed introduction: 1. Receiving information: Car owners in Shenzhen who need to get a license plate only need to bring all the required documents for the new vehicle inspection, which usually takes only one day. If you handle the relevant business at the window, it will take two days. Therefore, if all the documents and materials are complete, you can receive the business completion information within three days. 2. Collecting the license plate and driving license: After the inspection, the license plate needs to be made, and the metal plate cannot be collected on the same day. It takes about fifteen days to collect the license plate and driving license. When collecting the license plate, you need to bring the temporary license plate, payment receipt, the original and copy of the owner's ID card, and the original and copy of the driving license.

I just bought a new car in Shenzhen. After completing the vehicle inspection process, the staff said the metal license plate would be mailed to my home. In my case, the inspection was done on Wednesday afternoon, and I received the plate by Friday morning, which was quite efficient. Generally, with all the documents in order, it takes 1-2 working days to receive it. However, during peak periods like the year-end car-buying season, there might be a delay of a day or two. It's advisable to confirm the mailing address and phone number when completing the formalities to avoid missing the courier's call. The temporary license is valid for 15 days, which is sufficient for the transition period. The Shenzhen Vehicle Management Office has an app to check the progress, which is very convenient and saves unnecessary trips. Overall, the service is quite user-friendly and much faster than expected.

Having lived in Shenzhen for many years, I've helped friends with vehicle inspections several times. Normally, after the inspection, the license plates are mailed out the same day or the next, and you can receive them within one or two days. However, there was one instance when the documents were incomplete, and it took three days to submit the additional paperwork, so preparing all the documents in advance is crucial. The vehicle management office now processes things electronically and quickly, though it can be slower during peak periods like holidays, so try to avoid those times. Don't miss the courier's call during the delivery process—safety first, and it's fine to drive with temporary plates in the meantime. Overall, Shenzhen's process is quite efficient, and friends from other cities often complain about longer waits in their local areas.

As an office worker in Shenzhen, after purchasing a car and completing the inspection, the metal license plate arrives by mail within 1-3 days. My car was inspected on Thursday, and I received the plate by Friday evening. The DMV has streamlined the process, and the app allows tracking progress to avoid long waits. Driving with a temporary plate for a few days is generally fine, as long as it doesn't expire.
