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. Typically, from the time the license plates are sent out to the time they are received by the owner, it should not take more than a week. Below are the detailed steps: 11183 Phone Inquiry: 11183 is the phone number for China Post EMS.

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.

When checking the delivery status of my license plate, I prefer to directly call the customer service hotline of the DMV, as it's the fastest method. All you need to do is dial the number, such as your local 12123 traffic management service number or the local DMV hotline. Once connected, explain your situation to the customer service representative, provide your ID number or the type of license plate you applied for, and they can check the logistics status in the system and inform you of the estimated delivery time. I tried it once during my commute to work, and within just a few minutes, I found out that the license plate was already on its way. The delivery is usually handled by couriers like China Post or YTO Express, so the customer service might give you the tracking number to check on the courier's app yourself. I recommend calling during working hours on weekdays, such as between 9 AM and 5 PM, to avoid busy lines. If you don’t have the order number, you can also visit the DMV front desk with your ID to inquire directly. Remember, the license plate is an important document, so don’t delay too long to avoid affecting your vehicle use.

Using a mobile app to check license plate mailing is very convenient, such as Alipay or WeChat mini-programs. Search for 'Vehicle Services' or 'Traffic Management 12123', log in to your account, then select 'License Plate Mailing Progress', and enter the tracking number or ID information to view logistics updates. The entire process is smooth, and the app can also push notifications, such as 'Shipped' or 'Delivering Tomorrow', so you don't have to keep checking. If you opted for SMS alerts during the application, it will automatically send messages to your phone. Mailing times vary greatly by location, with faster service in big cities and slower in remote areas, but tracking via the app allows you to stay updated anytime, reducing anxiety. It's simple, hassle-free, and worth trying.

I think setting a reminder for license plate delivery tracking is sufficient. When applying for the license plate, there's usually an option to check email or SMS notifications. Selecting it will prompt the system to send a confirmation message to your email or phone when mailing begins. If not available, set a weekly calendar reminder to check the progress on the official website by entering your personal information for quick access. Typically, it takes 3-7 days. If there's no update, contact the DMV to inquire or check the tracking status on the courier's website using the tracking number. Be patient and stay updated, ensuring the progress doesn't become a hassle while keeping your schedule on track.
