How to Handle a Lost Vehicle License?
2 Answers
If your vehicle license is lost, you need to reapply for a replacement from the traffic management department. Here is the relevant information about vehicle license replacement: 1. Required documents: "Motor Vehicle Registration Business Process Record Form", "Motor Vehicle Registration/Transfer Registration Form", "Application Form for Replacement/Reissuance of Motor Vehicle License Plates and Certificates", "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate", copy of the vehicle owner's identity proof, 3 vehicle photos, power of attorney, and the entrusted person's ID card. 2. Entrusted handling: The vehicle license can be handled by an entrusted person. You need to obtain the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" and "Written Lost Statement" from the local vehicle management office where you currently reside temporarily. After filling them out, send them along with your ID card and photos (receipt) to the place where the driver's license is registered, and entrust relatives or friends to handle it for you, because the application form requires the signatures of both the applicant and the entrusted person to process.
When I lost my vehicle license that time, it was indeed quite troublesome, but the process wasn't too difficult. First, don't panic. Immediately bring my original ID card and a copy, along with the vehicle registration certificate (commonly known as the green book), and go directly to the local vehicle management office for a replacement. There, fill out an application form describing the loss situation, and the staff will verify the information. The fee usually ranges from twenty to fifty yuan, and the new license can be picked up in a few days after processing. It's advisable to take a photo of the vehicle license and store it on your phone as a backup, so you can handle it quickly if it's lost again. Additionally, a reminder: driving a vehicle without a license will result in a fine, so it's best to get it done as soon as possible. Later, I also got into the habit of keeping a copy in the car, just in case. The whole process takes about an hour, but during peak times, the waiting line might be longer.
