What are the consequences of not confirming the selected number on 12123?

If the car owner selects a license plate number in the 12123 system but does not confirm it, it will not affect the process of registering the plate at the vehicle management office. However, if the selection has already been confirmed, the owner must submit the required documents to the vehicle management office within the specified period to complete the registration. Failure to apply within the deadline will result in the automatic invalidation of the selected plate number, which will then be returned to the pool of available numbers. Consequences of not confirming a pre-selected number: If the owner fails to confirm the internet pre-selected license plate at the vehicle management office within the validity period, the user will be blacklisted and prohibited from pre-selecting a vehicle license plate online for 2 years, after which the blacklist status will be automatically lifted. Important notes for selecting a new license plate: It is highly recommended to first perform a simulated plate selection to familiarize yourself with all the steps and avoid selecting an unwanted plate due to operational or time constraints. There are restrictions on plate selection: you must confirm one out of 50 plate numbers. The selection is divided into 5 groups, with each group of 10 plates requiring a choice within 90 seconds. The selection area allows a maximum of 5 alternatives and must be confirmed within 180 seconds; otherwise, the selection will fail. Once a plate is successfully pre-selected online, if you wish to change it, do not wait until the 2-month registration validity period expires. If it expires, you will be blacklisted and unable to pre-select a plate online for 2 years. After successful online pre-selection, remember to register the plate promptly; otherwise, the plate will be reclaimed.
A few months ago, I selected my favorite license plate number on the 12123 platform and was thrilled, thinking it was all done, but I forgot to click the confirmation button. Two days later, the APP notified me that the selection had expired, the number was released, and all my efforts were in vain. Re-selecting the number and queuing took several more days, and I almost missed the registration deadline. The platform rules are clear: there’s a 24-hour confirmation period after selecting a number, and if you exceed it, the selection is automatically canceled. If you make this mistake repeatedly, some DMVs might even charge a delay fee. The worst part? My dream plate was snatched by someone else, leaving me full of regret. Remember: choosing the number is the small thing; confirming it is the big thing. Don’t cut corners to save time.
After driving for so many years, I've seen many novices forget to confirm their selections on the 12123 platform, leading to chaos. The system automatically returns the chosen license plate number to the pool, wasting all your effort. If you want to proceed with registration, you have to start over. This delay isn't just a day or two—waiting for a new plate number can push back your vehicle inspection and tax payment, prolonging the entire process. What's worse, the platform limits the number of selection attempts. Failing to confirm counts as wasting a chance, reducing your opportunities in the future. The platform's design prevents inaction, reminding everyone to carefully review and confirm prompts after each step—don’t be lazy. In short, confirmation is a crucial step; skipping it leads to regret.
