Can I drive with a deformed license plate?
1 Answers
No, you cannot drive with it, nor can you repair and continue using it. You must replace the license plate with a new one. The details are as follows: 1. Relevant regulations: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, driving with a damaged motor vehicle license plate will result in an immediate deduction of 12 points. Therefore, you should only drive after obtaining a new, intact license plate. If a motor vehicle license plate or registration certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, the owner of the motor vehicle should apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered. When applying, the owner should fill out an application form and submit proof of identity. 2. Vehicle management office processing: The vehicle management office should review the submitted proofs and documents, retrieve the undamaged, lost, or damaged license plates and registration certificates, and issue a replacement registration certificate within one day of acceptance. A replacement license plate will be issued within 15 days of acceptance, with the original license plate number remaining unchanged.
