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.
