Can I Replace My Vehicle License in Another City in 2021?
2 Answers
No. Below is the relevant information for replacing a vehicle license: 1. Processing Location: Foreign license plate vehicles should go to the Vehicle Management Office; other vehicles should go to the Vehicle Management Office corresponding to the residence address listed on the vehicle owner's identity document. For vehicles registered in suburban districts or counties (such as Beijing B license plate motorcycles, three-wheeled vehicles, low-speed trucks, and wheeled self-propelled machinery), the replacement should be processed at the local district or county Vehicle Management Station. 2. Processing Time: Replacement of a vehicle license will be completed within one working day from the date of acceptance; replacement of a vehicle license plate will be completed within fifteen working days from the date of acceptance. 3. Required Documents: "Application Form for Replacement of Vehicle License Plate and Certificate," identity documents of the vehicle owner and the agent. Additionally, if the vehicle license plate is unrecognizable or one side is lost, the original plate must be returned. For replacing a vehicle license, a standard photo of the vehicle must also be submitted.
In 2021, it was indeed possible to reissue a vehicle license in a different location, thanks to the nationwide networking service of the traffic department. I helped a friend with this matter before. You only need to bring your ID card to the local vehicle management office to apply. They will retrieve the original file to verify your identity, and the new license can usually be obtained within a week. This eliminates the need to travel back to the original location, saving a lot of hassle, especially for migrant workers. However, remember to check the operating hours of the vehicle management office in advance to avoid a wasted trip. The fee is only a few dozen yuan. This policy change is a significant step towards convenience for the public, reducing the burden on vehicle owners.
