How long does it take to reissue a green book?
2 Answers
Reissuing a green book takes three to five working days. Concept of the green book: The green book generally refers to the vehicle registration certificate. However, the registration certificate is not the legal proof document of vehicle ownership; it is actually an administrative certificate permitting the vehicle to be driven on the road. Many people mistakenly believe that the "green book" is the legal proof document of vehicle ownership, but this is incorrect. For the needs of traffic management, the vehicle management office of the public security authority confirms the owner of the motor vehicle based on the purchase invoice or legal documents such as court judgments, rulings, or mediation agreements when processing vehicle license plates. Reissuance method: For details, you can consult the local vehicle management office. After losing it, you need to reissue it in time to avoid affecting the normal driving of the car.
Last year I lost my green book and hurried to the DMV to get a replacement. After filling out the application form and submitting copies of my ID card and driving license, the clerk said the normal review process would take 1-3 working days to collect the certificate. I was lucky to go in the morning when there were fewer people and only had to wait two days. If the materials are incomplete, you might have to make an extra trip, especially if you can't be present in person, then a power of attorney is required. During the replacement period, it's best not to rush into transferring ownership or selling the car to avoid transaction delays. The overall process is quite simple, just don’t delay too long to avoid affecting the vehicle certification. Remember, the DMV sometimes has long queues, so it's recommended to make an online appointment first to save time.
