How Long Does the Invoice Review Take at the DMV?

12123 new vehicle invoice review generally takes within 7 working days. The specific review time depends on the efficiency of the local department. As long as the information is accurate, it can pass the review. Here is the relevant information: DMV: The DMV, short for Department of Motor Vehicles, is primarily responsible for handling vehicle registration, modification, transfer, mortgage, and cancellation. The DMV also processes driver's license applications, replacements, renewals, reviews, and other services related to vehicles and drivers. 12123: The SMS service uses a unified SMS platform software to connect with the SMS gateways of China's three major telecom operators—China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom—and sends messages using the 12123 number to provide services such as business notifications and warning education.
I remember last time I went to the DMV for vehicle ownership transfer, the invoice review was actually quite quick, but the total processing time really depends on when you go. If you queue up before 8 AM on a weekday when it's less crowded, you might get it done the same day. During peak periods like National Day holidays, you could end up waiting two or three days. The key is that the invoice must be clear with correct names and license plate numbers – if there are alterations or missing information, the inspector will make you redo it, which can easily delay things by a day or two. My advice is to bring all photocopies, complete ID and vehicle documents, and check the process on the DMV website beforehand to avoid wasted trips. Processing times vary by location – busier cities take longer while smaller towns are faster, typically ranging from one to three days. If unsure, just call the local DMV hotline; they're quite helpful and can give you precise answers.
