What Are the Tips for Choosing a Car License Plate Number?

[DelCayden]

There are two ways to choose a license plate number: on-site selection at the vehicle management office, where you only have 90 seconds to choose, or online selection, where you simply log into the official website, enter information such as the vehicle frame number, and then select a license plate number. Not only can you choose the method of selection, but if you want to get a consecutive number plate, you also need to keep an eye on the updates from the local vehicle management office, as they occasionally release some consecutive number plates for vehicle owners to choose from. This is when your speed in selection will be tested. Tips for selecting a number at the vehicle management office: The processing time for self-selection and one-time selection is 5 minutes. If you don't make a selection the first time, you can try again after five minutes. When selecting a number, make sure to fully utilize the selection rules. Prepare three numbers in advance and input them in order on the selection machine. If all three numbers you input have already been taken, you can use the approximate number query function. The selection machine will provide six approximate numbers based on the rules of the first number you input, and you can choose from these six numbers. If none of the six approximate numbers are selected, the selection machine will provide a fuzzy query function. At this point, you can input a question mark in the digit you choose and enter the number, then press the fuzzy query key to perform a fuzzy query for selection. Note that you can use no more than two question marks. For self-selected license plates, delivery time is two days in urban areas and three days in suburban areas, while self-pickup takes five days. Self-selected license plates are applicable only to small cars and trucks; other vehicle types are not yet eligible. Self-selected license plates must be for new vehicle registrations or vehicles transferred from outside Beijing; changes in ownership or transfers are not eligible for self-selection.
