Reissuing a vehicle license on 12123 usually takes 3 to 5 working days, and holidays or weekends will extend the processing time. Steps to reissue a vehicle license: 1. Open the 12123 mobile app; 2. Click the "More" menu on the homepage; 3. Enter the business center, find "Replace Damaged Driver's License" and enter the application page; 4. Enter the required information on the page and click "Next"; 5. Choose the delivery method, submit for review, and once approved, the reissuance will be successful. The vehicle license is the legal document permitting a motor vehicle to drive on roads within China. It consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed license core, the back has the vehicle photo sealed in plastic, and the supplementary page contains another endorsed license core.

I've processed the replacement of my vehicle license several times on the 12123 APP, and the procedure is generally smooth. The review is quick after submitting the application—last time I applied on Tuesday morning and it was approved by Wednesday noon, then the mailing took two days and arrived at my home on Friday afternoon. The total duration didn’t exceed five days, though it might be slower during peak periods like holidays, but overall the efficiency is high. I recommend preparing clear photos of both sides of your ID card and a scanned copy of the vehicle registration certificate in advance to avoid rework. After online payment, you can just wait for the delivery, saving the hassle of visiting the DMV—this is my favorite part to share with fellow car owners. Remember to choose a good time to submit your application, avoiding weekends, to speed up the process.

As a regular car owner who often deals with these matters, I find the time taken to reissue a vehicle license quite reasonable. After applying on the 12123 APP, the initial review usually takes 1-3 days, with the speed depending on whether the documents are complete. I recommend double-checking everything before submission. During the mailing phase, urban areas take 1-2 days, while remote areas may take a few more days, averaging a total of 4-7 days to receive the new license. Once, I forgot to upload the VIN, which caused a delay, and I had to wait ten days to resolve it. So now, I always carefully follow the APP prompts to ensure zero mistakes. Overall, it's quite convenient and suitable for busy people, as it only takes a few steps on the phone to get it done.

Using the 12123 app to reapply for a vehicle license felt quick and simple. I submitted the application on the same day, and it showed 'under review' by evening. It was mostly approved the next day. With mailing included, I received it within two days, usually completing the whole process in three days. I often use this feature—easily upload photos, make the payment, and just wait for the delivery. The electronic version can also be used temporarily in emergencies. Avoiding complicated steps, even beginners can handle it effortlessly with just a few minutes of phone operation, saving both worry and money.
