What does 'Pending Internal Network Confirmation' mean?
3 Answers
Pending internal network confirmation means that the car owner has selected their desired license plate number, and it is currently under review. Generally, the vehicle management office will complete the review within three to five working days. During this review period, the license plate cannot be confirmed for registration. Once the status changes to 'Approved,' the owner can proceed with the registration. More relevant information is as follows: Choosing a license plate number: Typically, after selecting a license plate number, whether online or at the site, it takes a few days before the plate is installed. During this time, the online status will show as 'Pending Internal Network Confirmation.' The vehicle management office needs to review the relevant documents and procedures, hence the waiting period. The final status will indicate 'Approved,' which means the selected number is approved for use. If it's a new car, the owner can proceed to the vehicle management office to complete the registration process, which involves certain steps. Registration process: During the registration process, the main fees include the administrative fee, photography fee, and stamping fee. After paying these fees, the vehicle can be driven home with the license plate in a couple of days.
I've seen this situation at the 4S shop. 'Waiting for intranet confirmation' means your repair request is going through internal approval procedures. They might need to check parts inventory using their internal system or verify if the warranty is still valid. Last time when I had my transmission fluid changed, I encountered this notification. The service advisor said we had to wait for the parts department colleague to click 'confirm' on the computer before placing the order. This step prevents mistakes in parts model numbers or pricing, which actually benefits car owners. Usually it takes about an hour to get approved. If it drags on to the next day, you can call to check the progress. After all, with the car waiting at the shop for repairs, they'll try to handle it promptly.
Don't panic when you see this prompt, it's just an internal system procedure at the repair shop. The parts department needs to check inventory, the technical supervisor must approve the repair plan, and finance has to verify pricing—all done on the corporate intranet. I encountered this during a car repair; the technician said major overhauls like engine replacements require triple confirmation. Though the multiple steps can be annoying, they prevent wrong parts usage or billing disputes. Nowadays, with networked systems, it can be resolved in as little as half an hour. If it's a busy weekend, it might drag until afternoon, so bringing a book to wait is more practical.
