What does 'Under Lottery Review' for vehicles mean?
2 Answers
Under lottery review means: The application is in progress, and the result will be available after a few days. Below is relevant information about the vehicle lottery system: 1. Rules for new energy vehicle lottery: The quota management for new energy passenger vehicles implements 'separate allocation' with an independent lottery pool. The qualifications for obtaining a new energy vehicle quota are basically the same as those for the traditional lottery, but the buyer must promise or confirm that they have the conditions to install charging facilities. 2. Changes in the frequency of vehicle lottery quota allocation: The application period has been adjusted from monthly to concentrated applications from January 1 to March 8 and August 1 to October 8 each year; the annual quota allocation has been changed from 6 times to 3 times, with new energy quotas allocated in May, and regular quotas allocated in June and December.
Car lottery under review means that when you apply for a license plate lottery, the system is currently reviewing your documents. This is part of urban purchase restriction policies, such as in Beijing or Shanghai, where license plate applications require random allocation through a draw. After submission, if the status shows "under review," it indicates that government authorities are verifying whether the information you provided is authentic and meets the requirements—such as checking the validity of your ID card, residence permit, or driver's license, whether your age meets the criteria, and if you have any violation history. The entire process may take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. I recommend patiently waiting while logging into the system to check the progress, avoiding duplicate submissions or document errors that could lead to review failure and affect your chances. This is common during peak seasons. If approved, you can then wait for the lottery results.
