How to Apply for a Car License Plate Number?
2 Answers
There are two channels available: online application and on-site processing. Below is an introduction to applying for a license plate number: 1. Online Application: Log in to the website, fill out the application form, confirm and obtain the application progress query code. Online application is more suitable for those who frequently use computers and are often online. The online application takes only a little over a minute, after which the materials will be reviewed by a dedicated person. Once approved, the application enters the lottery stage. 2. On-site Application: Go to the processing windows in various districts, queue to get a number, fill out the application form, submit relevant materials, and obtain the application progress query code.
I recently accompanied a friend to select a license plate number, and the process actually involves several steps. There are mainly two ways to choose a license plate: random selection at the DMV machine on-site, or pre-selecting a customized number on the mobile app 'Traffic Management 12123'. If you go to the DMV, the staff will guide you through the process at the selection machine, where the screen will instantly display dozens of license plates for you to choose from. You have a strict 2-minute time limit to pick one, which really tests your quick decision-making. Using the mobile app is much more flexible—you can try combinations based on your birthday, anniversary, or lucky numbers, but be careful to avoid awkward letter pairs like 'SB'. Here's a little-known fact: the license plate pool is updated periodically, and it's said that around 10 AM on weekdays or right after work resumes in the afternoon are better times to find desirable number sequences. Additionally, green-plate vehicles (new energy vehicles) now use an independent number series, with a significantly higher success rate than blue plates.
