Can a driving license be reissued without the original owner if it is lost?

[McEva]

The driving license cannot be reissued if the original owner cannot be found. According to the reissuance procedure for driving licenses, to replace or reissue a driving license, the identity proofs of the motor vehicle owner and the agent must be provided. Here is the relevant information: Driving without a driving license is prohibited: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, driving a motor vehicle on the road requires carrying the driving license and the driver's license. If stopped by traffic police and found without these, a fine will be imposed and 1 point will be deducted from the driver's license; in more severe cases, the motor vehicle may be temporarily impounded until the driver can present the corresponding valid documents to reclaim it. Information on reissuing a driving license: The motor vehicle owner should fill out the "Application Form for Replacement or Reissuance of Motor Vehicle Driving License" and submit it along with a copy of the owner's identity proof and three vehicle photos to the local vehicle management office under the jurisdiction of the motor vehicle to apply for a reissued "Motor Vehicle Driving License."
