How many days does it take to get the license plate after selecting the number?

There are two scenarios for selecting a number and obtaining the license plate: 1. Selecting the number at the DMV and obtaining the plate: The DMV uses a 50-choose-1 method for number selection. In this case, the license plate is usually already made, so after selecting the number, you can directly go to collect and install it. Therefore, most car owners can receive their official license plates on the same day of registration. In some large cities with a high number of registrations or during peak car-buying seasons, the DMV might not be able to print so many license plates in time, and it usually takes 2-3 working days to receive the official plate. 2. Online number selection and plate collection: (1) When using the online 50-choose-1 or 10-choose-1 method, the time to receive the official plate is similar to selecting at the DMV. On the day of registration, you only need to present the number selection voucher, and you can usually get it the same day. (2) When using the online self-compiled number selection method, the number is usually not yet made, so it takes longer. Normally, it will be completed within a week. Online number selection generally receives the plate via mail, with EMS taking 3-4 days.
