What is the reason for the certificate pending review status?
2 Answers
Below are the reasons for the certificate pending review status: 1. Reasons: The certificate information has not been uploaded, the certificate information has been uploaded but the exchange is not yet completed, the QR code on the certificate is smudged and cannot be scanned, or the vehicle management office does not have the information for new models or a few specific models due to the recent networking of the China Machinery Service Center. 2. Precautions for new vehicle registration: The vehicle management office will have a specialized photographer take photos of the vehicle, place a specially set number plate at the lower right corner of the front windshield, and then take photos of the vehicle. The number rubbing will also be done by the specialized photographer. Sometimes, the 4S shop has already taken the photos and done the number rubbing, but due to various reasons, the vehicle management office needs to re-process the information.
The 'certificate pending review' status is quite common. As someone frequently involved in car sales, I've found the main reasons are incorrect or incomplete document submissions—such as missing information, wrong formats, or data errors—which cause the system to stall while waiting for supplements. Additionally, backend review systems sometimes experience heavy traffic, leading to slower processing, especially during peak periods where delays can span several days. Regulatory bodies are also tightening inspections to ensure vehicle safety and compliance; if standards change or tests fail, reviews get prolonged. I’ve also noticed minor issues like dealerships encountering network glitches or format conversion failures during uploads, further delaying progress. My advice: promptly double-check submitted materials, follow up with customer service or the platform, and it should resolve within days—don’t let it delay your pickup.
