Does giving the vehicle license to others have any impact?

Giving the vehicle license to others does have an impact, as driving without a vehicle license is not permitted on the road. Below is a detailed introduction about the vehicle license: 1. Overview: The motor vehicle license is the legal document that permits a motor 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 signed certificate core, while the back has a photo of the vehicle, sealed with a plastic cover. The supplementary page is the signed certificate core. 2. Relevant regulations: Article 17 of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations" issued by the State Council stipulates that vehicles must pass the inspection by the vehicle management authority and obtain license plates and a vehicle license before they are allowed to drive. Therefore, possessing 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 of regulations.
I've been driving for over a decade and encountered many similar situations. I remember one time when I lent my vehicle license to a friend for transfer procedures, but he didn't handle it properly and committed a traffic violation. The police later came after me, resulting in a fine and nearly costing me penalty points. The vehicle license is an important document for car owners, and lending it to others can cause serious trouble: if the borrower violates traffic rules or gets into an accident, all the responsibility falls on you; it might also be used for fake certifications or illegal loans, leading to legal disputes. I regret it every time I think about it, so I emphasize that you must keep your documents safe, only briefly lending them to trusted relatives or institutions, and retrieve them immediately after use to avoid these problems. Regularly checking your document status is also a good habit - safety first.
As someone who values privacy, I find it too risky to lend out my vehicle registration certificate since it contains personal details like my name, ID number, and address. If it falls into the wrong hands, my identity could be stolen to apply for credit cards or commit fraud, which would be a nightmare to resolve later. I keep a scanned copy at home to share with authorized institutions when needed, avoiding the need to lend the original. Moreover, if someone borrows your registration to drive and gets into an accident, the insurance might deny the claim or hold you liable, adding unnecessary responsibility. My advice is to develop the habit of only handling certificate-related matters under your own supervision—protecting your privacy and safety is paramount.
