How Long Does It Take to License a Car?

[DiDakota]

Most car owners can complete the licensing process within 3 hours, provided they have prepared all the necessary documents in advance. However, in some cases, the process may take several days. For example, during peak car-buying seasons, the vehicle management offices are often crowded, and long queues for each procedure are common, making it normal for the licensing to take three to five days. Documents required for car licensing: Owner's ID card (non-local residents also need to provide residence information), motor vehicle sales invoice, motor vehicle whole vehicle factory qualification certificate or goods import certificate, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, motor vehicle compulsory insurance. If an agent is handling the process, a power of attorney and the agent's ID are also required. Specific steps for car licensing: Purchase insurance for the new car; pay the vehicle purchase tax; new car inspection; document acceptance; vehicle inspection (except for exempted vehicles); select a license plate number; collect vehicle documents; pay the vehicle and vessel tax.
