Does the replacement of license plates require the owner to go to the DMV in person?

The replacement of license plates can be handled by someone else, as long as the ID card provided by the handler matches the name and ID number on the original car purchase invoice. It is not necessary for the owner to handle it in person. For new car license plate registration, you need to go to the local DMV with the following documents: ID card, vehicle certificate of conformity, vehicle parameter sheet, the second and fourth copies of the car invoice, vehicle purchase tax, and compulsory traffic insurance. Below are some precautions regarding car license plate registration: 1. Determine the type of license plate to be registered: After deciding whether to register a local or out-of-town license plate, pay the purchase tax accordingly. According to regulations, vehicle purchase tax should be paid where the vehicle is registered. If you choose a local license plate, the tax must be paid locally; if you choose an out-of-town license plate, the tax must be paid out of town. 2. Fully understand relevant information: Before purchasing a new energy vehicle, make sure whether a charging pile can be installed and understand relevant information. You should also learn about the application process for special license plate quotas, financial subsidy standards, and other important information.
Last time my license plate accidentally fell off, I immediately went to the vehicle management office to apply for a replacement. I brought my ID card and vehicle registration certificate. The staff said that I must be present in person to confirm my identity for the process to go smoothly, as they need to verify the information for anti-counterfeiting purposes. If someone else is handling it on my behalf, a written power of attorney and notarization must be prepared in advance, which would waste both time and money. The process of replacing the license plate was quite fast, taking only about half an hour, and the cost was around 200 yuan. It's recommended to file a police report first if your license plate is lost to avoid potential misuse and trouble. After getting the new plate, install it promptly, and you'll feel much more at ease when driving.
