As a car owner, I’ve also lost my vehicle registration certificate before, and the replacement process really requires a personal visit to the DMV. First, you need to bring your original ID card and drive your car there—staff will inspect the vehicle and take a rubbing of the VIN. At the service hall, start by filling out the 'Motor Vehicle License/Registration Application Form,' and make sure to prepare the vehicle details and a copy of your ID. The replacement fee is only 10 yuan, but you must queue up in person—no proxy is allowed. Remember to wear comfortable shoes; last time, I waited two hours to finish. The whole process involves three steps: filling out forms, vehicle inspection, and payment, and the new certificate can be issued the same day. If the vehicle is in another city, you’ll have to return to the DMV where it was registered, which is quite inconvenient.
