What does in-store license plate registration mean?

[TuckerLee]

In-store license plate registration means that the 4S dealership assists the car owner with vehicle registration and inspection. Nowadays, most 4S dealerships will help owners with registration procedures, where staff handle all formalities and accompany the owner to complete the process. Customers who cannot process license plates at 4S dealerships: GMAC customers; customers from other regions requiring temporary residence permits for registration; customers purchasing imported vehicles. Precautions for in-store registration: Since 4S dealerships prioritize speed during registration assistance, staff may not carefully select license plate numbers during the new vehicle number selection process. Typically, they will choose the first available number. If owners want their preferred license plate number, it's best to pre-select online or personally visit the DMV for number selection.
