How to Register a Vehicle Color Change?

To change the color of your vehicle, you must bring the required materials to the vehicle management office within 10 days to apply for a modification registration. You will need to carry the vehicle modification registration form, ID card, vehicle license, etc. Since the vehicle license needs to be updated, photos and an exterior inspection will be conducted before processing the application, similar to the exterior inspection during vehicle testing. After taking a queue number in the service hall, proceed to the designated window to submit your documents and complete the process. Once the application is processed, you will need to pay the relevant fees at the payment window and collect your updated documents at the license and certificate window.

I recently changed my car color from silver to red, and the effect is pretty cool, but it must be registered with the authorities, otherwise, I could be fined by traffic police. You need to go to the vehicle management office within ten days after the color change to complete the registration: first, prepare the vehicle license, the owner's ID card, and the vehicle registration certificate, fill out a modification application form on-site, and the staff will inspect the car body and take photos to ensure the color matches. Then, just wait for the updated vehicle license. The whole process usually takes about half an hour to an hour, with some time spent queuing, but the cost is only a few dozen yuan. Don’t delay—if you drive without registration, you could be fined 200-500 RMB, and your car might be impounded, affecting the annual inspection. The same process applies for color changes using wraps—once registered, you can drive with peace of mind.

With over 20 years of driving experience, I've seen many novices get into trouble by modifying their cars without proper registration. After a color change, you must register at the vehicle management office within a week: bring the vehicle registration certificate, ID, and driving license for on-site inspection, photo-taking, and license replacement. If you don't do this, the insurance company may refuse to compensate or impose fines in case of an accident, which is not worth the delay. Remember to avoid overly flashy colors resembling police cars to prevent inspections. The process is simple but must comply with regulations. Prepare your documents in advance and go on weekdays to avoid long queues. Once completed, your driving license will be updated, making everything legal, ensuring peace of mind and safe driving is what matters most.

As a car enthusiast, changing the body color to enhance personality is common, but registration is essential. After the color change, take the registration certificate and ID to the DMV, fill out the form, have the vehicle inspected and photographed, and it's done in minutes. Don't forget the steps, or you'll face fines that affect the joy of car modification. Vinyl wrap color changes also require the same registration procedure. Following the rules ensures more freedom in modifications.
