How quickly can the vehicle management office archive the documents?

The vehicle management office can archive the documents as quickly as one day. With all the required documents in order, transferring a driver's license to another location usually takes just a few days to be archived. Documents required for archiving: Original driver's license. Original and photocopy of ID card. Two one-inch color photos without a hat. Proof of identity for the motor vehicle driver. Notes for archiving: The applicant must come in person to handle the procedure and sign on the spot; it cannot be delegated to others. Proof of identity: "Resident ID Card"; non-locals also need to provide a local temporary residence permit. Transferring a motor vehicle driver's license to another location through fraudulent or bribery means will result in the revocation of the driver's license, and the applicant will be barred from applying for a driver's license for three years.

I specifically asked about this when handling the transfer before. Simply put, the vehicle management office can complete the filing and uploading on the same day they receive all the required documents, especially for basic services like local transfers or reissuing a vehicle license. If you submit the materials before 3 PM, the system status will usually update by the next day. However, efficiency varies greatly between different locations—big cities with more service windows and faster clerks may process things quicker, while smaller towns might take an extra day or two. It’s not uncommon for processing times to lengthen during peak periods like the start of the month or year-end rushes. Also, online services through apps like 12123 are actually faster; with complete materials, the upload speed is noticeably quicker than offline processing. My advice: don’t just wait for notifications after submitting—check the system status yourself every 12 hours for the most reliable updates.

Honestly, it depends on the specific type of service and how busy the local DMV is. I've seen cases where replacement license plates were archived in the system the same day—once the DMV staff scanned and entered the materials, the system synced almost instantly. But for complex operations like cross-province vehicle transfers, where the backend needs to verify over a dozen items like the VIN and inspection reports, it can take at least two or three days. Some places still use manual approval processes, with materials needing to circulate through different departments for signatures, and it gets even slower if the responsible person is away on business. If you want real-time updates, calling the inquiry number on the service receipt is more effective than refreshing the webpage.

The fastest case I've seen was completed in three hours—a friend went to the DMV right when it opened to handle lien release, submitted the materials at 9 AM, and the system showed completion by noon. But this was an exception, with simple procedures and few people that day. Typically, most modification registration tasks are processed within 24 hours, and data upload to the traffic management platform usually doesn’t exceed 48 hours. Note that services requiring on-site vehicle inspections can take longer—after the inspector signs off, the internal staff still needs to input the data, which is often the bottleneck. If the system is under maintenance or the archives are being relocated, waiting a week isn’t unusual.
