How to Handle a Lost Vehicle License?

Applicants should visit the local vehicle management office to complete the relevant procedures. The staff at the vehicle management office will review the materials and accept the application if all requirements are met. To obtain a replacement vehicle license, required documents include the motor vehicle registration business process record sheet and the motor vehicle license replacement application form, among others.
I just encountered the issue of losing my vehicle license, which is quite urgent. First, remember to report it to the police immediately to prevent any misuse that could cause trouble. Then, prepare your original ID card and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate (if you don't have it, you can ask your insurance company to issue a proof). Go directly to the local vehicle management office to apply for a replacement. Fill out an application form, and the staff will verify the vehicle information and take an on-site photo of the car. The fee is about 50 yuan, and you can usually get the new license in a few working days. During this period, do not drive on the road as driving without a license will result in a fine of 200 yuan and points deducted, which is particularly unsafe. I recommend taking a photo of your vehicle license and saving it on your phone as a backup. Check it before your next trip to avoid similar troubles.
I bought my car second-hand and lost the vehicle license last year, but the process was quite smooth. The first step was to call 110 to report the loss. After obtaining the case filing receipt, I scheduled an appointment on the DMV app to avoid chaotic queues. Bring your ID card and the original vehicle documents, undergo an on-site inspection to verify the VIN code and exterior, fill out the forms, wait about ten minutes, pay a little over 40 yuan for the processing fee, and the new license is issued. After completion, remember to store the license sleeve properly to avoid wear and tear—driving without it could lead to points deduction, fines, or even towing if stopped by the police. It's advisable to carry some spare change and backup documents to save hassle.
