New car license plate?

I bought a new car two days ago. The dealer said the DMV will mail me the registration. What about the physical license plate? Do they mail that to my house or do I have to go to the DMV to pick it. Do I have to do anything from my part?
I live in California and this is my first time buying a car.

Thanks.

For a new car through a dealership it takes about 30 days to get the plates. And they are mailed to your address unless you made other arrangements at the time of purchase.

When you open the envelope with the plates, make sure you don't throw away the registration...so many people overlook it, and go to the DMV or AAA complaining that they never received it.

You will have the temporary permit until they get the physical license plate made and sent to the DMV, at that time you just go there and pick it up.

Here in Texas they put on the paper tag when you buy the car & it's good for 21 days , in most cases you will receive the new plates before those 21 days are over, Here the dealership will mail you the new plates or you can go there to pick them up when they come in.
