How to Check If There Are Still Cars Under Your Name?

You need to bring relevant documents to the local vehicle management office for inquiry. In China, the management is quite strict, and online inquiries are not allowed. Only specific authorities can conduct inquiries through strict procedures. The vehicle registration information archive network of the transportation department is only open internally and not publicly available online. Required documents include: 1. For personal vehicles: the original and photocopy of the owner's identity proof, and the original and photocopy of the vehicle license. 2. For company vehicles: the original and photocopy of the organization's code certificate, a power of attorney from the legal person, the original and photocopy of the handler's identity proof, and the original and photocopy of the vehicle license.
As someone who often cares about vehicle safety, I find it quite simple to check if there are any cars registered under my name. Most places have online services at the local DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). Just search for the official local website, enter the vehicle registration inquiry system, fill in my ID number and name, and the system will display all the cars registered under my name, including license plate numbers, models, and status. If a car has been sold but the information hasn't been updated, there will be a prompt, which is quite useful. I usually check regularly to prevent others from misusing my name or forgetting to close old vehicle registrations. Online operations are convenient and fast, but it's important to ensure secure links to prevent hackers from stealing information. If you're not familiar with online methods, you can visit the DMV counter in person—just bring your ID card to get it done. However, post-pandemic, more people prefer digital methods to save time and effort. Safety comes first; don’t just prioritize speed. Official channels are the most reliable.
