Can a Driving License Be Reissued in a Different Location?

[MadelynLynn]

A driving license cannot be reissued in a different location. To reissue a driving license, you must go to the vehicle management office under the jurisdiction of the address recorded in the identity document of the vehicle owner, which is the vehicle management office where the vehicle was registered. If you cannot personally go to the registration location to reissue the license, you may entrust a relative or friend to handle it on your behalf, along with a business power of attorney signed by you. Below is the relevant information: Motor Vehicle Driving License: The motor vehicle driving license is the legal document that permits a motor vehicle to drive on roads within China. The driving license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the stamped license core, while the back features a photo of the vehicle, sealed in a plastic cover. The supplementary page is the stamped license core. The motor vehicle driving license held by the driver records many important details, including the license plate number, owner's name, vehicle model and type, engine number and chassis number, load capacity or passenger capacity, initial registration date, and annual inspection records. Reissuance Process: Mail the vehicle owner's identity document and standard vehicle photos to the agent; the agent should bring these materials along with their own identity document to the vehicle management office to apply for a replacement; receive and fill out the application form, then submit the form along with the relevant materials to the staff for review.
