Can someone else drive if the vehicle license is not under their name?

Yes, as long as the vehicle license and the current year's compulsory traffic insurance policy are available, but the agent must bring their own ID card and driver's license. Below is relevant information: Overview: The motor vehicle license is the legal document permitting the vehicle to drive on roads within China. The vehicle license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed core, while the back displays the vehicle's photo, sealed in a plastic cover. The supplementary page is the endorsed core. Relevant regulations: Article 17 of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations" promulgated by the State Council stipulates: Vehicles must pass inspection by the vehicle management authority and obtain license plates and a vehicle license before they are permitted to drive. Therefore, holding a "Motor Vehicle License" is one of the prerequisites for a vehicle to be driven on the road, and driving without the license is a violation.
Last time I went out with my friend's car, he forgot to give me the vehicle license, but I had my driver's license, so I could still drive. The vehicle license is that blue booklet proving who the car is registered to, and it doesn't necessarily have to be mine. The driver's license is my qualification to drive, like a green booklet, and that's what the police check. When borrowing or renting a car, the vehicle license isn't mine, but as long as the car is legal and I have my driver's license, there's no problem at all. However, you need to be careful—make sure the car has no outstanding violations before driving, otherwise you might get stopped and face trouble, or even have the car impounded. Once, I drove a company car and ran into this situation, but luckily I checked the records in advance, otherwise being stuck in holiday traffic would have been even more frustrating. In short, the vehicle license and driver's license are two different things—just keep them straight and you're good to drive.
