vehicle registration and white plate

[bkkniko]

Hi

 

So, long story short, I purchased a new car from an authorized dealer, and they asked me to leave the passport with them for 1-2 days once the time comes to receive the white plate. I assume they plan to go with my passport to DLT and register the vehicle. However, I did not like the idea of leaving my passport out of my sight, so I told the dealer that I would meet them at DLT and we would do it together so I could see the passport,etc. They agreed.

 

My question is: Once we get into DLT for vehicle registration, does DLT also keep the passport for days? or it's just a normal procedure to see the original passport? Meaning, I would receive the passport same day or like within hours or hour I don't know how long this procedure takes, so if anyone had experience please let me know.

 

Thank you

it's weird, so why did the dealer ask for the original passport? It was not some random dealer it was an authorized BMW..
