Can the original owner replace the vehicle license?
4 Answers
The original owner cannot replace the vehicle license. Below is relevant information about the vehicle license: 1. Composition: The vehicle license consists of three parts - the license holder, main page, and supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed certificate core, while the back features the vehicle photo, all sealed in plastic. The supplementary page contains another endorsed certificate core; 2. Function: Possessing the 'Motor Vehicle License' is one of the prerequisites for a vehicle to be driven on the road. Driving without the license is a violation. The 'Owner Name' field on the license isn't just about the name - the registered owner is the legally recognized vehicle owner with rights to legally use and dispose of this property. In case of traffic accidents or economic disputes, they are also the legally designated responsible party.
Last time I lost my vehicle license, I was really worried, but the original owner can fully reapply for it, provided the car is still under your name. If there's no transfer of ownership, just bring your ID card and the original vehicle registration certificate, and personally go to the local DMV to apply for a replacement. Fill out a simple form, pay a small fee (usually around 50 yuan), and it'll be done in a few days. Don't delay too long, otherwise you might get into trouble if checked while driving, and could even face fines. If the car has already been sold, the replacement isn't the original owner's responsibility anymore; the new owner has to handle it. I suggest keeping copies of important documents in the car just in case. If you lose any documents, deal with it as soon as possible to avoid affecting your daily car use. The whole process is simple and quick, so go ahead and do it with confidence. I've done it once before, and the basic application only took half an hour.
As an experienced driver, I've encountered similar situations before. The original owner losing the vehicle license can definitely get it reissued, because the license is associated with the current owner. When going to the DMV, you need to bring all required documents: ID card, proof of ownership, and the vehicle registration book. It's best to prepare photocopies in advance. During the application, vehicle information will be verified. If everything checks out, you'll pay a fee of about 50 yuan for the replacement, and usually receive the new license within a week. Don't be careless - while getting it replaced, take the opportunity to check if other documents are complete, such as the insurance policy. If ownership has changed hands, the original owner has no right to intervene; otherwise, get it replaced promptly to avoid driving risks. I want to remind everyone that keeping vehicle documents organized is very important - don't underestimate this detail.
If the vehicle registration certificate is lost, the original owner (while still the legal owner) should apply for a replacement as soon as possible to avoid fines or accident disputes. Bring a valid ID card and the vehicle registration book to the DMV to submit an application. They will verify the owner's identity and vehicle registration details, with a fee of a few dozen yuan. The replacement process is quick and usually completed within a few days. If the vehicle has been sold, the original owner cannot apply for a replacement, and the new owner must handle it. Remember to organize documents regularly to avoid similar issues. Safety is the top priority, so don’t delay the process.
