How Many Days Does It Take to License a Car?
2 Answers
It usually takes about fifteen days to license a car. Here is some relevant knowledge about car licensing: 1. Licensing Location: Typically, new car licensing is processed at the Vehicle Management Office. The costs for insurance and vehicle purchase tax vary depending on the car model and choices. 2. Document Preparation: To license a new car, you need to bring the original and a copy of your ID card, the car's certificate of conformity, insurance policy, invoice, organization code certificate and its copy, and other relevant documents. If you are not a local resident, you also need to submit a temporary residence permit. 3. Insurance Payment: Pay the vehicle purchase tax and insurance.
Just helped my neighbor with the vehicle registration process yesterday, which took three days in total. On the first day, we went to pay the purchase tax and buy insurance, which was quick but took an hour of queuing. The second day was the most troublesome—we drove the car to the inspection area of the DMV, where staff checked the VIN and took photos for records, with the queue alone taking two hours. After the inspection, we had to go to the counter to select a license plate number. It’s advisable to pre-select a number on the 12123 traffic management app in advance. On the third day, we picked up the plates. If you choose a custom number, you’ll have to wait for production, but plates for on-the-spot selections can be collected the same day. Handling the entire process yourself is quite exhausting, so it’s recommended to bring all necessary documents like your ID, car purchase invoice, and vehicle certificate in a folder.
