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.
