How to Reapply for a Lost Vehicle Registration Certificate?

You need to go to the vehicle management office or traffic police brigade to handle this. This is the only vehicle-related service that cannot be processed by an agent; the vehicle owner must handle it in person. The vehicle owner should promptly apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office under the jurisdiction of the vehicle. When applying, the vehicle owner must fill out an application form and submit proof of identity. The vehicle management office should confirm the vehicle's details and review the submitted proofs and credentials within one day of accepting the application.
I lost my green car title last time too, it was so stressful! Luckily, getting a replacement isn't too difficult. Quickly go to your local DMV, bring your ID card and vehicle license, fill out an application form explaining the loss situation, and pay a processing fee of around 50 yuan. They may require the car to be brought on-site for inspection to prevent fraudulent claims. Usually, you can get the new title in 3-5 days. Don't delay, and don't attempt to sell or transfer the vehicle during this period, otherwise you might easily get scammed or violate regulations. The green title is essentially the car's ID card - without it you can't do anything. I recommend keeping it locked in a home safe or taking a photo backup on your phone.
