The delivery status of license plates sent by the DMV can be checked through the following methods: calling 11183, using the Traffic Management 12123 app, or 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 delivery speed might be slightly slower.

I recently completed the license plate mailing process and would like to share how to check the status. The primary method is through the official website of the local vehicle management office. First, open a computer or mobile browser and navigate to your local vehicle management office's official website. Locate the motor vehicle services section, then enter your personal information, including your ID number, license plate application number, or vehicle identification number. The system will display the mailing status, such as shipped, in transit, or delivered. Remember, you usually receive an order number during the application process—entering this number will directly show the logistics company's name and tracking number, such as China Post EMS or SF Express. You can then switch to their respective apps to check the detailed location. The entire process is quite straightforward but requires some patience, as processing times vary by region. Urban areas may take 3-5 days, while suburban or remote areas might take 7-10 days. If you're unsure about the official website address, call the 4S dealership or the last processing point you visited—they can guide you directly. Regularly refresh the page or check email notifications to avoid missing updates.
