Can a lost vehicle license be reissued in another location?

Vehicle licenses cannot be reissued in another location. Below is the relevant information: 1. Specific regulations: According to the law, if a motor vehicle license is lost, missing, or damaged, the vehicle owner must apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office of the registration location. This means that a vehicle license can only be reissued at the vehicle management office where it was originally registered. 2. Legal basis: Article 44 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" states that the vehicle management office shall review the submitted proofs and documents, retrieve any undamaged, lost, or destroyed license plates or vehicle licenses, and reissue or replace the vehicle license within one day from the date of acceptance. License plates shall be reissued or replaced within fifteen days from the date of acceptance, with the original license plate number remaining unchanged. During the reissuance or replacement of license plates, a temporary vehicle license plate valid for no more than fifteen days shall be issued.

Last time when I traveled out of town, I accidentally lost my vehicle license and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. I quickly checked the relevant regulations and found that now any vehicle management office nationwide can issue a replacement license, which is extremely convenient. Just bring your ID card and vehicle registration certificate to the local vehicle management office, fill out a simple application form, take an on-site photo of the vehicle to confirm its condition, pay a small fee of a few dozen yuan, and you can usually get the new license in two or three days. The whole process was super smooth, saving me the hassle of traveling all the way back to my hometown. If I had kept an electronic copy on my phone as a backup before the trip, it would have saved me from panicking last minute. Remember, it's best not to drive during the replacement period to avoid any trouble if stopped by the police.

As someone who frequently drives long distances, I once experienced the minor mishap of losing my vehicle license in a different city. Initially, I was worried it wouldn't be possible, but after checking, I found that national policies do support cross-regional replacement. Just bring your original ID card and vehicle registration certificate directly to the local DMV—they'll efficiently help you take photos, fill out forms, and process payment. I recommend making an online appointment in advance to reduce waiting time. The processing fee is reasonable, and you'll receive the new license in a few days. With the current mature online systems, car owners no longer need to worry about such issues. Handling it remotely saves you the cost of fuel and time for the return trip, making it both safe and economical.

If your vehicle license is lost in another city, you can apply for a replacement locally without returning to your hometown. Prepare your ID card and vehicle registration certificate, go to the local DMV to apply, take a photo, pay a fee of about 50 yuan, and wait for your new license which will be issued quickly. After the policy reform, procedures have been simplified nationwide. It's recommended to check the business hours and bring all necessary documents to save time. Having a replacement license will also give you peace of mind while driving.
