Do company-owned motorcycles have a green book?

Company-owned motorcycles do have a green book. The green book refers to the engine registration certificate. Without it, neither annual inspections nor secondary transfers will be permitted in the future. Introduction to the green book: The vehicle green book is the vehicle registration certificate. This certificate serves as the legal proof of vehicle ownership and is kept by the vehicle owner. It does not need to be carried in the vehicle at all times. The green book is required for any vehicle registration procedures, such as transfers or changes of ownership, and records the vehicle's relevant details, functioning as the vehicle's household registration. Buying a car: The term "buying a car with the green book" refers to purchasing a vehicle with the "Vehicle Registration Certificate" and paying the full amount in one lump sum.

Regarding whether company-registered motorcycles have the green book, I've encountered many such questions. 'Company-registered' refers to motorcycles registered under a company or organization name, not an individual. Whether privately or company-owned, all legally registered and licensed motorcycles must have a green book - the Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate. This document is like an ID card, proving the vehicle's ownership and origin information. For company-owned vehicles, the registered owner on the green book will be the company's full name, with official seals required. My friend who manages a courier company's fleet confirmed all their motorcycles have green books stored in archives for inspection, facilitating transfers or annual checks. Without the green book, buying/selling becomes extremely problematic, and traffic police inspections could be troublesome. In short, company-registered motorcycles absolutely have green books - no need to worry about this. Just make sure to keep it safe and don't lose it.

I used to handle motorcycle management for my company, and company-owned vehicles definitely have the green book. The green book is that green-covered registration booklet that proves who owns the vehicle. When the company registers a motorcycle, this document is included in the paperwork provided by the vehicle management office, and the company's legal representative holds onto it. Unlike privately owned vehicles where individuals hold it, the green book for company-owned vehicles is usually kept in the office or finance department. This thing is extremely important—whether the company wants to transfer the vehicle, buy insurance, or for routine inspections, it's all done with this document. I've seen some companies be careless, losing the green book and making it difficult to sell the vehicle, even having to reapply for it several times. So, I recommend that company vehicle managers regularly organize their documents and not let it gather dust. Nowadays, roadside checks are strict, and not having this document can easily lead to fines.

From a legal perspective, all motorcycles registered in China must have a green book (registration certificate), regardless of whether they are registered under a company or private ownership. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Public Security, both the vehicle license and registration certificate are issued during motor vehicle registration, and company-registered motorcycles are no exception. The green book serves as the core document proving ownership, with the legal representative's name displayed for company-owned vehicles. Without it, processes like vehicle transactions, ownership transfers, accident handling, or annual inspections will be hindered, and it may even be considered as driving without proper documentation. Common issues include companies losing documents during relocation or employee negligence. In fact, the replacement process is straightforward—just bring the company's proof to the vehicle management office.

For company-owned motorcycles without the green book, the risks are quite significant. The green book serves as a legal certificate, and company vehicles should pay even more attention to it, as buyers or the vehicle management office will require it during transactions or annual inspections. I know of a company fleet that had to make multiple trips during the transfer process because the green book was not properly preserved. If the green book is lost, it needs to be reissued, and the reissuance process may expose registration issues, such as unupdated company name changes, leading to delays. For daily storage, it is recommended to keep it locked in an office cabinet and avoid lending it out casually. For companies with a large number of vehicles, it's even more important to ensure that all documents for each vehicle are complete.
