Is the Vehicle Management Office Open During National Day?
2 Answers
The Vehicle Management Office is not open during National Day. As a state institution, it follows the national statutory holiday schedule. During the National Day holiday, some staff may be on duty, but they will not handle any business. Since the Vehicle Management Office is closed during National Day, you cannot obtain vehicle license plates during this period and must wait until it reopens. However, you can choose an online number selection service through the 'Traffic Management 12123' platform, apply for a license, and then opt to have the license plate mailed to your home. You can still go to a driving school for practice during National Day. Although many driving schools are closed for the holiday, they usually arrange for staff to be on duty. It is advisable to contact the driving school in advance before going for practice.
The vehicle management office is generally closed during the National Day holiday, as it is a national statutory holiday, typically lasting for 7 days. In my 15 years of driving, I have encountered this situation multiple times. I remember last year during the National Day holiday when I wanted to renew my driver's license, only to find the doors shut tight, forcing me to wait until after the holiday. Therefore, it is advisable for car owners to handle vehicle-related matters, such as annual inspections, transfers, or updating the vehicle registration certificate, one or two weeks before the holiday. The staff at the vehicle management office are also on holiday, with only a few places possibly having on-duty personnel to handle emergencies, but they do not accept new business operations. It's best to check the official website or WeChat public account of the local vehicle management office in advance, as they will clearly post the holiday schedule. Vehicle management is related to travel safety, and having all the necessary documents in order ensures a worry-free holiday. Don't wait until the last minute to deal with these issues, only to end up in long queues.
