How long does it take to receive a new license plate in the mail?

The amount of time it takes to receive a new license plate in the mail from the South Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV/RMV) can vary. Generally, it takes approximately 7 to 10 business days for the new license plate to arrive. However, please note that this is an estimated timeframe and there may be delays due to various factors such as high demand, processing times, or the need for additional documentation. Additionally, certain specialty or personalized license plates may have longer processing times. It is recommended to apply for a new license plate ahead of time to allow for any potential delays and ensure you receive it in a timely manner.
