What does the expiration date of pre-selected license plate numbers mean?
1 Answers
After successfully selecting a custom license plate number, the number will be reserved for 3 working days starting from the next day (the 3 working days are calculated from the next working day after the license plate number is confirmed, and will be extended in case of national statutory holidays, Saturdays, and Sundays). If an online-selected license plate is chosen before it expires, you must wait for three working days after the original selection automatically becomes invalid before you can go to the vehicle management office to select a new number. During this period, vehicles that have successfully selected a license plate number online are not allowed to re-select a number or modify already submitted information via the internet. If you are dissatisfied with the online-selected license plate, you can log in to the online license plate selection system again after 3 working days to choose a more satisfactory number. Each vehicle has two opportunities to select a license plate number. When selecting a number at the vehicle management office, relevant vehicle information must first be entered according to system requirements, such as the vehicle identification number (VIN). The entered information must be consistent with the registration information at the vehicle management office; otherwise, the number selection will not take effect.
