How many days does it take for the DMV to approve?

It takes 3-5 days for the DMV to approve. Introduction to the DMV: The DMV is a direct agency under the public security system, mainly responsible for handling motor vehicle registration, modification, transfer, mortgage, and deregistration. It is generally only available in county-level or higher administrative regions. Checking approval status: The DMV approval status can only be checked at the DMV. To query personal information on the comprehensive traffic safety service management platform, a username and password are required. If the approval has not been granted, logging in with an ID card is not possible. You will receive an SMS notification once the approval is passed, so please wait patiently.
When I was going through the vehicle transfer process at the DMV and waiting in line, the staff told me that the review period depends on the specific service. For routine procedures like new vehicle registration, if all the documents are complete, it usually takes about three days to get approved, especially now that everything is handled online. However, for special cases like approval for modifications on imported vehicles, it's hard to say. Last time, my neighbor had to wait a full ten days for his modified car because it required an on-site inspection and file retrieval. I recommend following the local DMV's official WeChat account—their online query system is very accurate. Wait until it shows approval before heading to the service hall to avoid wasted trips and dealing with scalpers. Actually, many services can now be handled through the 12123 traffic management app, which is faster and doesn't require an in-person visit.
