Is the Vehicle Management Office Open on Saturdays?
2 Answers
The Vehicle Management Office is open on Saturdays, and basic services such as temporary license plates and license plate replacements can be handled on weekends and holidays, but vehicle registration services are not available. The Vehicle Management Office is primarily responsible for handling vehicle registration, modification, transfer, mortgage, and cancellation, as well as driver's license applications, replacements, renewals, and reviews, along with other related services for vehicles and drivers. When processing vehicle registration, driver examinations, and license issuance, the office must use a workflow record form to document the progress of these procedures. Upon completion of tasks, each department must sign the workflow record form. Supervisory or leadership roles should note clear handling opinions on the form when addressing issues reported by various departments. The workflow record form is then archived in the vehicle and driver records.
Just a few days ago, I went to the DMV to renew my license plate and was also wondering if they're open on weekends. Actually, this varies by location—some city DMVs do offer Saturday便民服务 (convenience services) specifically for busy office workers like us who can't spare time on weekdays. But keep three things in mind: First, most only operate for half a day, with 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM being the most reliable window. Second, services are limited—usually only handling simple tasks like license replacement, while transfers or vehicle inspections are off the table. Third, advance预约 (appointment) via the交管12123APP is mandatory; in my area, walking in unannounced gets you turned away by security. I’d recommend checking your local traffic police’s official WeChat account for notices first, then bringing your ID and old documents to avoid a wasted trip and having to take Monday off.
