How Long Does It Take to Reissue a Vehicle Green Book?

Normally, it can be completed on the same day. The vehicle registration certificate is generally referred to as the "big green book" of the car, serving as the legal proof of vehicle ownership, equivalent to the car's household registration. Below are the application conditions: 1. Condition 1: If the vehicle registration certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, the vehicle owner must apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office of the registration location. 2. Condition 2: Vehicle owners can entrust an agent to handle various vehicle registration and business applications on their behalf, except for applying for a replacement of the vehicle registration certificate. In cases where the vehicle owner cannot apply in person due to reasons such as death, overseas travel, serious illness, disability, or force majeure, an agent may apply for the replacement on their behalf with relevant proof.
When I replaced my green vehicle registration book, it was quite fast. I took a morning off to visit the DMV, bringing my ID card and vehicle license. Queuing and waiting took a little over an hour. The staff said they needed to verify the vehicle information, so I drove the car to the inspection area. After the inspection, I filled out forms and paid a total of 50 yuan for the processing fee. They told me that after the system entry, approval was needed, and I should come back in the afternoon to collect it. I went back at 2 PM after lunch, and the new green book was already ready. The whole process took about five to six hours, but I recommend avoiding the beginning or end of the month when the DMV is especially busy. If you don’t bring all the required documents or if there are unresolved traffic violations on the vehicle, you might have to go back and forth for several days.
