If the license plate number is selected through the "ten-to-one" method, the vehicle license plate can be collected directly. If the license plate number is selected through the other two methods, it usually takes fifteen working days to complete the production of the license plate. The owner can choose to pick it up by themselves or through EMS express delivery. Below is some relevant information about license plates: 1. License plate material: Vehicle license plates are plates hung on the front and rear of the vehicle, usually made of aluminum, plastic, or stickers, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration area, or other basic information. 2. Function: The license plate serves as a unique identifier for each vehicle. Its main purpose is to indicate the province, city, or county to which the vehicle belongs. The vehicle management office can use the license plate to identify the vehicle's owner.

Last time I went to get my license plate, I also thought it would be ready immediately, but I ended up waiting a full five days. Nowadays, the DMV uniformly manufactures plates, so even if you choose to pick them up yourself, you still have to wait for the production process to complete. Their manufacturing center produces them in batches, only shipping two batches daily to each branch. It's advisable to choose a branch close to the manufacturing point. Remember to bring the acceptance form and your original ID card, and it's best to go after 3 PM to avoid the peak pickup hours. Recently, I saw someone in the car enthusiast group receive a text notification on the third day, but my colleague in the suburbs had to wait a whole week—it really depends on the regional efficiency.

As a seasoned driver, I've gone through three license plate replacements, with the fastest taking four days and the slowest eight days. After submitting the documents, the DMV needs to upload the plate production data to the provincial system, and the production center takes two days for scheduling, manufacturing, and quality inspection. Once the plates are ready, they have to be transferred to the selected service point, and now they notify you via SMS with a pickup code. A crucial reminder: keep that yellow acceptance receipt safe. Last time, my neighbor Old Wang lost his receipt and ended up making three wasted trips. If you don't hear anything after seven working days, remember to call 12123 to follow up—their system can check the plate production progress.

A new driver just went through this - submitted the materials last Wednesday and only got them today. The lady at the DMV said the province now has unified license plate production, unlike the old days when temporary plates could be issued on the spot. The list of available plates is updated daily at 12 PM and 4 PM. I kept checking my text messages and finally got the notification at 4:30 PM on the fourth day. The pickup location is in a suburban industrial park, requiring a special trip, and I queued for over 40 minutes at the self-service window. It's recommended to choose a branch office closer to the production center to save a day on shipping time.
