Automobile vehicle registration certificate, commonly known as the 'big book', can be reissued. The vehicle owner needs to bring the original and photocopy of the identity proof of the motor vehicle owner, fill out the 'Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form', and complete the motor vehicle inspection record form on the spot. Below is the relevant introduction to the vehicle registration certificate: Definition: The 'Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate' is a necessary property ownership document for the vehicle, kept by the vehicle owner and not carried with the vehicle. It is required to be presented when handling any vehicle registration procedures such as transfer or change of ownership, and records the relevant information of the vehicle, equivalent to the vehicle's household registration book. Application conditions: If the motor vehicle registration certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, the motor vehicle owner should apply for reissuance or replacement at the vehicle management office of the registration location. The motor vehicle owner can authorize an agent to handle various motor vehicle registration and business applications, except for applying for reissuance of the motor vehicle registration certificate.

I've been driving for almost twenty years, and back in the day, I also encountered the issue of losing the vehicle title, which held up the transfer process. Fortunately, it can be reissued, and the procedure is quite straightforward: First, report the loss at the DMV to prevent misuse by others; bring basic materials like your ID, vehicle registration, and photos of the license plate; fill out an application form and pay a small fee for the replacement; wait three to five days to pick up the new title, and the old one will be automatically invalidated. Avoid selling or mortgaging the car during the reissuance period to prevent disputes. I recommend scanning and storing a backup in the cloud for safekeeping. If it's lost, don't panic—handle it early to avoid unnecessary delays, which really aren't worth the hassle.

As a new car owner, I recently lost my vehicle registration certificate and panicked, immediately calling to inquire. It can be reissued, and I'll guide you through the steps: Prepare your original ID card, a copy of the driving license, and the household registration book of the owner; queue up at the local vehicle management office to fill out forms; pay a small fee of about 50 yuan; the new certificate will be in your hands within a week, and the old one will no longer be valid. During this period, don't make any changes to the vehicle's ownership, like selling the car, as it could cause trouble. I found that taking a photo and saving it on your phone is quite effective against loss—keep it in the car and avoid carrying it around unnecessarily. Replacing the certificate isn't a hassle, just handle it calmly and you'll be fine.

The vehicle registration certificate can definitely be reissued if lost. Key points to remember: Report the loss at the DMV, provide documents like ID and driver's license; the fee is usually under 50 yuan; with complete materials, it takes just one or two days; the new certificate is valid while the old one becomes invalid; never handle transfer procedures during this process. This document is crucial—without it, you can't handle insurance or annual inspections. If lost, act promptly as the reissuance process is simple and hassle-free.
