How many days does the license plate registration process take?
2 Answers
Generally, it can be completed in one day. Below are the precautions for new car license plate registration: 1. Although imported vehicles and some domestic cars, small, and mini passenger vehicles have been included in the exemption from inspection: The range of domestic car models exempt from inspection is relatively small. After the implementation of the new policy, all domestic cars can be exempt from inspection. The exemption scope for new cars includes cars and small, mini passenger vehicles, as well as two-wheeled motorcycles marked with "new car exempt from inspection." 2. Models not exempt from inspection include: Off-road vehicles, small and mini ordinary passenger vehicles, and heavy and medium-sized trucks. 3. Exemption from inspection does not mean direct license plate registration: Exemption from inspection for new cars does not mean you can go directly to register the license plate. Currently, it only eliminates some items of the on-site inspection. Before registering the license plate for a new car, it is still necessary to go to the inspection site for an appearance check, photographing, and number stamping. In addition, the exhaust emission test required for environmental protection must also be conducted.
I just went through the new car registration process, which wasn't too complicated but did take several days. After preparing the car purchase invoice, ID card copy, and compulsory traffic insurance policy, I spent half a day queuing at the tax office to pay the purchase tax on the first day. On the second day, I submitted the materials at the vehicle management office, where the large crowd made me wait several hours. After passing the initial review, I waited to receive the official license plate, which usually arrives within a day or two. Efficiency varies by region—big cities might take two to three days, while small counties could be faster. Remember to pick a good day to avoid peak times and not waste your weekend. Key takeaway: having all materials ready is crucial, and staying patient throughout the process will ensure smooth completion.
