How many days does it take to get the license plate after selection?
2 Answers
For online license plate number selection, it generally takes about five working days to receive the license plate after confirmation by the vehicle management office. If the online selection is successful, the selected plate number will be reserved for three working days starting from the next day (extended in case of holidays or public holidays). The vehicle owner must complete the vehicle inspection and registration application within this period. Failure to complete the registration within the time limit will invalidate the selected plate number. You can collect the license plate at the vehicle management office one day before the temporary license expires. Below is some related information about license plates: 1. License plate material: Vehicle license plates are panels hung on the front and rear of the car, usually made of aluminum, plastic, or stickers, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration area, or other basic information. 2. Function: License plates serve as identification numbers for vehicles, primarily allowing identification of the province, city, or county to which the vehicle belongs. The vehicle management office can trace the vehicle's owner through the license plate.
I recently just picked a license plate for my new car, and the whole process went quite smoothly. On the day of selecting the number, the staff gave me a temporary license plate, saying it's fine to drive with it for now, and the official plate would be delivered by mail. The courier arrived in about three days, which was pretty fast. Remember to confirm the delivery address in advance, otherwise, if it gets lost, you'll have to reapply, which would waste time. When choosing a license plate, it's best to pick a catchy number. After selection, don't rush to take long-distance trips. During the temporary plate period, you can only drive locally. Going beyond the range might be hard to explain if stopped by traffic police. The entire process was completed within a week from start to finish, quite hassle-free.
