How to Repair a Deformed License Plate?

[LeTimothy]

If the license plate is slightly deformed, you can repair it yourself or take it to a repair shop. If the damage is severe, you will need to replace the plate. Whether repairing it yourself or at a shop, be careful not to damage the font or paint on the plate. If it cannot be repaired, visit the local vehicle management office, where you can usually receive a new plate within 3-5 working days. The steps to follow after a license plate is damaged are: 1. First, report to the police for official record. 2. Schedule an appointment for license plate replacement/reissuance, which can be done via the official website or WeChat public account. 3. Prepare the required documents for replacement/reissuance: the original and a copy of the vehicle owner's ID card, the vehicle registration certificate, and the 'Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form'. 4. Bring all the documents and the damaged plate to the service window for verification. The damaged plate will be collected, and you will receive an acceptance receipt. 5. Take the acceptance receipt to the payment window to pay the fee. 6. Collect and install the new license plate.
