The license plates sent by the DMV can be tracked through the following methods: calling 11183, using the Traffic Management 12123 app, or checking via the Postal APP. Generally, it takes 3-4 days for the license plates to be delivered. The license plate delivery service is provided by EMS, and the speed is slightly slower.

Below are the detailed steps: 11183 Phone Inquiry; 11183 is the phone number for China Post EMS.

When I first got my license plate, I was also anxious to check the progress. Let me share some common methods with you. The easiest way is to open the Traffic Management 12123 app, log in, find the 'License Plate Progress' option under vehicle services, and enter your license plate number and the last six digits of the engine number to check the shipping status. If you can't find it on the app, you can directly call the local DMV, provide your ID number, and ask the staff to check the tracking number for you. It's also convenient to check the shipping status on the official postal website by entering the tracking number. Remember, license plate production usually takes three to five days before shipping, so be patient. During peak logistics periods, it might take longer—my plate took over a week, and there were even delays in status updates. If you're really in a hurry, the most reliable way is to visit the DMV counter with your ID card and ask directly.

Checking the delivery progress of license plates is actually quite simple. I usually use three methods: the first choice is the Traffic Management 12123 APP, where you can find logistics details in the online processing progress section; secondly, you can check through the official WeChat account of China Post EMS by associating the package with the phone number you registered at the time; you can also directly call the service hotline of the vehicle management office and provide your license plate information to inquire. It's important to note that making license plates takes time. Usually, after submitting the application, you need to wait at least five working days before checking. Checking too early may result in no updated records in the system. Some city vehicle management offices have SMS push services, and they will automatically send you the tracking number when the license plate is shipped. If you haven't received it within two weeks, it's best to go to the vehicle management office in person to verify if the address information is correct. I once encountered a situation where the package was returned due to an incorrect address registration.

Alternatively, you can log in to the China Post official website and enter the tracking number to check the logistics status. Or, you can directly inquire at the DMV window. The key is to prepare the last six digits of the vehicle identification number and your ID card number. The mailing period usually takes within seven working days, and choosing EMS for delivery is more reliable. Remember to pay attention to SMS notifications from your phone, as the DMV will send reminders when the plate is completed and shipped. If the online system is under maintenance, calling the service hotline can save you a lot of time.

Just got my new license plate, here's my experience: To check the progress, the best choice is the Traffic 12123 APP. You can find it under the Vehicle Services section in the Business Center. When entering the license plate number, pay attention to the accuracy of letter case, as the system often fails to retrieve information due to format issues. If you don't have the APP, it's also convenient to check on the official website of the local DMV, where you'll need to enter the acceptance number provided during the application. The delivery usually goes through EMS, and the tracking number is printed on the receipt given by the DMV. License plate production typically takes three to five days. If you're in a hurry, you can choose to pick it up directly when applying for the plate. Nowadays, some cities also offer WeChat mini-programs for tracking. After binding your license plate information, you'll receive real-time updates on the delivery status.
