Can a lost new car invoice be reissued?
2 Answers
New car invoices cannot be reissued if lost. Here is relevant information about lost invoices: Laws and regulations: Losing a car invoice will prevent the vehicle from being transferred. If the vehicle has not yet been registered, obtained a vehicle registration certificate, or driving license, it is urgent to reissue the car invoice according to "The State Administration of Taxation's Notice on Handling Issues Regarding Consumers Losing Motor Vehicle Sales Invoices". Specific process: Go to the motor vehicle sales unit to obtain a copy of the unified sales invoice stub from the staff, stamped with the sales unit's invoice special seal. Then go to the competent tax authority department at the seller's location for confirmation and registration. After that, the sales unit will reissue a motor vehicle sales invoice with the same content as the original sales invoice stub.
If you lose the new car invoice, it can indeed be reissued. I've encountered this situation a few times. The key is to promptly contact the dealership where you originally purchased the vehicle. Bring your original ID card to the dealership, and they will check the purchase records. After verification, they will reissue a duplicate invoice marked with 'Replacement' on it. The replacement invoice has the same legal validity, but it may take some time, possibly a few days. Don't delay because this document is essential for license plate registration and ownership transfer. It could be even more troublesome if it involves insurance claims. I also recommend asking the sales consultant about the specific materials required, as different brands may require an additional application or something similar. After obtaining the replacement, remember to make several copies and store them separately to avoid affecting your car usage if lost again.
