Can the Green Book be Reissued?
2 Answers
Yes, you can apply for a reissue at the vehicle registration office where the vehicle was originally registered. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," if the motor vehicle registration certificate is lost or missing, the vehicle owner must apply for a replacement. Documents required for the application: The registration certificate is issued by the vehicle registration office. Bring all the vehicle's documents and the owner's ID card to the office for reissuance. The driving license and ID card need to be photocopied, and a photo of the car is required. Fill out the forms (note that two types may be needed), take imprints of the engine and chassis numbers, and check the records and inspect the vehicle. Procedure: The procedure is as follows: fill out the forms—check records—inspect the vehicle—apply—receive the replacement or reissued "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate." The process is completed within one working day from the date of application.
I was really startled when I lost my car's green book (vehicle registration certificate), so I immediately went to the local DMV to apply for a replacement. I brought my original ID card, vehicle license, and a replacement application form. After explaining the situation at the counter, the staff had me pay a small fee of about ten yuan for the processing cost. The whole process was quite simple and didn't take much time—I received the new certificate in about three days. Later, I learned that if the green book is lost, it must be replaced promptly; otherwise, it could cause issues when selling the car or during annual inspections. I also recommend regularly checking important documents and keeping the green book in the car's safe box to avoid future hassles. This incident taught me a lesson—now I always double-check my belongings before heading out.
