How to Handle Vehicle Color Change in Another Location?

[StHolden]

If a vehicle undergoes a color change in another location, the owner can directly submit a record application to the local vehicle management office. According to Article 56 of the newly revised "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" by the Ministry of Public Security: for small and micro passenger vehicles applying for registration changes due to a change in body color, if the vehicle is not in the registration location, the application can be submitted to the vehicle management office at the vehicle's current location. The vehicle management office at the vehicle's location shall inspect the motor vehicle as required, review the submitted proofs and credentials, and transfer the electronic inspection data of the motor vehicle to the registration location's vehicle management office. The registration location's vehicle management office shall then review and issue a new driving license as per regulations. The following materials are required for applying to change the body color of a motor vehicle: "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form"; identity proofs and copies of the motor vehicle owner and agent; motor vehicle registration certificate (green book); motor vehicle driving license; and clearance of all previous fines are the necessary procedures for applying to change the body color of a motor vehicle. According to Article 6 of Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law", if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, no change registration is required. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it must be recorded and filed, and the registration must be completed within 10 days after the vehicle's color change. Precautions for vehicle color change: Before preparing to change the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether the region allows motor vehicles to change colors. If the region does not support this method, the record procedures cannot be processed after the change, and the vehicle can only be restored to its original color. Additionally, according to Article 10 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. They can first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply to the vehicle management office for change registration. Moreover, for registered motor vehicles under any of the following circumstances, the owner must apply to the registration location's vehicle management office for change registration: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Replacement of the entire vehicle due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use or vice versa. The motor vehicle owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction area of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must spray emblem patterns as required and install alarms and emblem lights. Other motor vehicles are not allowed to spray, install, or use emblem patterns, alarms, or emblem lights that are exclusive to the aforementioned vehicles or similar to them.
