Do I need to reapply for a lost vehicle license when scrapping the vehicle?

You need to reapply for a lost vehicle license when scrapping the vehicle. Below is the procedure for reissuing a lost vehicle license for a scrapped vehicle: 1. Lost or damaged motor vehicle license: If the motor vehicle license is lost or damaged, you can apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office of the registration location. When applying, the vehicle owner should fill out the application form and submit identification documents. The vehicle management office should reissue or replace the license within one day from the date of acceptance. 2. Fill out the application form: Complete the application form, submit the vehicle for inspection, and provide the required documents. 3. Within two days from the date of acceptance: The vehicle management office should confirm the vehicle, verify the vehicle identification number imprint, review the submitted documents, and issue the motor vehicle registration certificate, license plate, vehicle license, and inspection compliance mark within two days from the date of acceptance.

If the vehicle registration certificate is lost when scrapping the car, I highly recommend getting it reissued. Because the formal deregistration process for vehicle scrapping requires this essential document, without it the procedure will be stuck. I've seen many cases where people tried to skip this step for convenience, only to find they couldn't complete the scrapping formalities, leaving the vehicle management records unresolved, which later affected their purchase of new cars and even caused insurance issues. Reissuing isn't actually troublesome - just bring the owner's ID card and vehicle-related documents to the vehicle management office, spend a little money and time to get it done. Overall, reissuing ensures complete procedures, avoiding future troubles, making it both safe and reassuring. Don't forget to check the new policies after disposing of the scrap car - currently there are subsidies available for scrapping, achieving both environmental protection and economic benefits.

If the car is already scrapped but the vehicle license is still missing, I think it's safer to apply for a replacement as soon as possible. If you don't, the vehicle registration won't be fully canceled legally, and in case someone misuses it or an accident occurs, the responsibility could be unclear, leaving you at risk. From what I understand, the replacement process is simple: fill out a form and pay a fee, and it's usually done within a few days. Then, use it to deregister the vehicle and properly dispose of the scrap car. This is related to personal credit and vehicle records, so it's not something to take lightly. As a side tip, before scrapping the vehicle, remove any valuable parts for recycling—it's a small way to earn some extra cash. In short, don't delay; the sooner you get it done, the sooner you can have peace of mind.

I encountered the same situation before. When my car was scrapped and the vehicle license was lost, I decisively went to get a replacement. The process wasn't complicated—just one trip to the DMV to submit the materials, and it was quickly replaced and used to complete the scrapping. It saves future troubles, such as affecting new car registration or insurance claims. From my experience, replacement is necessary. If the vehicle isn't deregistered, the record remains, which could lead to disputes. Spending this effort is worth it to ensure everything is formalized. Thinking about it now, scrapping the vehicle is also good, supporting environmental recycling.
