Why Hasn't the Vehicle Certificate Arrived with the New Car?

Under normal circumstances, 4S dealerships mortgage the vehicle certificate to banks for loans, which is why they inform car owners that the certificate hasn't arrived yet, preventing owners from receiving it on the spot. Here is detailed information about the vehicle certificate: 1. Overview: The vehicle certificate is another crucial document for a car and is essential for vehicle registration. Only cars with this certificate meet the national standards for motor vehicle equipment quality and related requirements. 2. Function: The QR code on the certificate stores encrypted information using the DES-64-bit encryption algorithm. DES is a strong block cipher that repeatedly uses shift transformations and substitutions. It is a highly secure product cipher system that effectively prevents the forgery of vehicle certificates.

I've encountered this situation several times where the new car arrives but the vehicle certificate hasn't. From my long-term driving experience, the main reason is that dealers often mortgage the certificates to banks for financing and only redeem them after customer payment. Delays occur when the bank processes slowly. The certificate is extremely important - without it, you can't get license plates, purchase insurance, or use the car normally. When I bought my last car, I also waited a week and had to persistently pressure the dealer to get it. My advice is to go directly to the dealership (don't just call) and demand a clear timeline. Also check your purchase contract for clauses protecting your rights. Don't feel embarrassed about pushing them - it's your legal right. If delays affect usage, you should claim compensation. Stay proactive, don't wait passively.

I just picked up my new car, and it looks great, but the vehicle conformity certificate hasn't arrived yet, which makes me a bit nervous. The dealer explained that it might be due to system updates or the bank not releasing it, probably because they used the certificate for a loan. I'm concerned that the delayed certificate will affect the registration process, so the car is just sitting in the parking space, and I'm afraid to drive it. I asked around, and some friends said it's a common issue—many new cars face this, and waiting a few more days should resolve it. But I'm not reassured, so I plan to visit the dealership tomorrow to push for it. Otherwise, not being able to legally drive the car would be a hassle. My advice is not to sit idle—communicate directly with the salesperson and get a clear answer. The conformity certificate is essential to prove the car meets standards; without it, the follow-up procedures become a mess. Remember, you're the one who paid for it, so don’t hesitate to press them if needed.

The vehicle certificate is delayed despite the new car being delivered. I speculate the reasons may include the dealer's financing mortgage to the bank causing redemption delays, or errors during document transportation. The vehicle certificate is crucial for registration and usage—without it, you can't license the car, potentially disrupting daily commutes. To protect your interests, I recommend immediately contacting the dealer for details and an estimated timeline, requesting written confirmation. If stipulated in the contract, leverage it to apply pressure. Certificate issues usually resolve within a week or two—don't worry excessively but stay proactive to prevent escalation.
