How many days does it usually take to get the official license plate?

If the car owner adopts the on-site selection method of 10-choose-1 or 50-choose-1, they can usually get the official license plate immediately, as these plates have already been manufactured and can be handed over as soon as they are selected. However, if the owner uses the self-compiled selection or online selection method, it normally takes about 7-15 working days to complete the plate before notifying the owner to come and collect it. Extended information is as follows: 1. License plate: Commonly known as a vehicle plate, it refers to the plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle, usually made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration area, or other relevant information. 2. Function: The license plate serves as a numbering and information registration for vehicles. Its main purpose is to identify the vehicle's region of registration and to trace the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the plate number.
I was also quite anxious about this when I first bought my car. I remember that it usually takes about 3 to 7 days from submitting the procedures at the vehicle management office to receiving the official license plate. In big cities, the vehicle management office processes faster, and it might be done in 3 days. In smaller places or during holiday peak periods, it might take over a week. My first car took exactly 5 days, during which I could only use a temporary license plate to drive. Just stick it on the front and rear windshields, but remember that temporary plates are only valid for 15 days, so don’t exceed the time limit. If you wait too long without any news, I suggest calling the vehicle management office directly to ask about the progress instead of wasting time running around. Some people might have incomplete documents, like invoices without stamps, which can slow things down. Checking all your materials in advance will save you trouble. Safe driving is the most important thing—just be patient and drive slowly.
