What does 'Selected License Plate Pending Confirmation' mean on Traffic Management 12123?

[Harper]

When your selected license plate shows 'pending confirmation' on 12123, you need to visit the vehicle management office for confirmation. After selecting your license plate number, you need to complete the following steps at the vehicle management office: Drive your vehicle to the local vehicle management office or license plate service station. Bring the vehicle qualification certificate, tax payment certificate copy, compulsory insurance policy, owner's ID card, and vehicle origin certificate. Complete the vehicle inspection at the inspection window. Pay the license plate registration fees, including costs for the license plate, temporary plate, registration certificate, and vehicle license. At the vehicle license window, inform the staff that you've completed online plate selection. This is crucial - otherwise they might process an on-site selection, which cannot be canceled. Finally, wait for your license plate to be issued. After selecting a plate number on the 12123 system, if confirmed, the owner must submit required documents at the vehicle management office within the specified period. If not processed within the deadline, the selected plate will automatically become invalid and return to the available pool. This cancellation doesn't affect the owner's eligibility for future online pre-selections - they may repeat the online process or choose plates directly at the office using the '20-choose-1' random selection system.
