Must new car registration be done on weekdays?
2 Answers
New car registration must be done on weekdays. Below are the specific details about new car registration: 1. Required documents: vehicle certificate of conformity, car purchase invoice, and compulsory traffic insurance policy (commercial insurance can be purchased after registration). In Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, proof of car purchase quota is also required. Before going to the vehicle management office to complete the registration procedures, you should make three copies of your ID card, temporary residence permit (if any), vehicle certificate of conformity, car purchase invoice, and compulsory traffic insurance policy for backup. 2. Process: Obtain the vehicle certificate of conformity, which is essential for vehicle registration; keep the triplicate car purchase invoice, pay the vehicle purchase tax, and obtain the original and duplicate tax certificates; prepare all necessary documents, register and inspect the vehicle at the vehicle management office, and select the vehicle license plate number.
When I first got my new car, I was super excited. However, you have to go to the DMV on weekdays since it's only open from Monday to Friday. I tried going on a weekend once, only to find it closed. Later, I had to take time off work to get it done. I recommend making an online appointment in advance and choosing a Wednesday or Thursday when it's less crowded. Bring your ID, car purchase invoice, and vehicle certification—you can also buy compulsory traffic insurance on-site. Remember, peak times like Monday mornings are packed; last time I waited two hours just to get a number. Overall, it's best to set aside half a day for this. Make sure to check the exact address and service hours of your local DMV beforehand to avoid a wasted trip. Getting your new car registered is important, so handle it promptly to avoid any last-minute inconveniences.
