If I don't want the license plate number selected on 12123, I can choose one at the DMV. The specific details are as follows: Automatic abandonment: If I don't go to the DMV to complete the formal license plate registration within three working days, the system will automatically consider the selected number as abandoned. Note: At the same time, within two years, I won't be able to choose a license plate number online again. Information about the DMV is as follows: DMV: It is a direct institution under the public security system, mainly responsible for handling motor vehicle registration, modification, transfer, mortgage, and cancellation. Generally, only county-level or higher administrative regions have it. Function: The DMV handles motor vehicle driver's license applications, replacements, renewals, inspections, and other related services for vehicles and drivers.

I remember when I first bought my car, I also picked a license plate number on the 12123 platform. After selecting it, I didn’t like the look and regretted it. Actually, you can go to the DMV to choose a new one. Back then, I drove straight to the DMV office, and the staff told me that selecting a number on 12123 is just a pre-selection. If you give it up within the time limit without confirming, or if you’re unsatisfied when you arrive at the DMV, you can re-draw a number at the counter—don’t be afraid to try a few times. However, note that you usually only get one or two chances to abandon your 12123 selection before it becomes invalid, and you’ll have to pick a new number on-site. The cost remains the standard license plate fee with no extra penalties. I suggest going early and not missing the deadline to avoid delays in the registration process. Also, check the DMV’s crowd levels in advance to avoid peak hours and long queues. Choosing a license plate should follow your gut—don’t settle for something you’ll dislike every day while driving. Think it through before deciding to save yourself the hassle, after all, the license plate is your car’s face—it should look good!
