How to Replace a Damaged Car License Plate?
2 Answers
License plate damage requires replacement. The following materials are required for replacing the license plate: Original and photocopy of the identity proof of the vehicle owner. The "Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form", signed by the authorized person for corporate vehicles and by the owner for personal vehicles. If processed by an authorized agent, the original and photocopy of the agent's identity proof and a written authorization from the vehicle owner must also be submitted. The damaged or remaining part of the license plate must be surrendered. After submitting the materials, you need to apply for a replacement license plate at the vehicle management office. The process is as follows: Fill out the "Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form" and submit the required materials; pay the fee; receive a temporary license plate.
Last time my car license plate cracked badly, which really worried me. I immediately looked up information and found that I needed to go to the local DMV to get a new plate. I brought my ID card and the original vehicle registration certificate, as well as the damaged old plate for verification. At the DMV, I first filled out an application form, explaining the reason for the damage. After queuing to pay the fee, which was around 100 yuan, I received my new plate in half an hour. When installing it, I made sure to check the tightness of the screws to avoid loosening and further damage. I recommend making an online appointment in advance to save time, and never try to use fake plates privately, as that could cause trouble. The whole process was quite simple, but it's important to do it properly to ensure driving safety. By the way, after getting the new plate, I got into the habit of using reflective film to protect it and extend its lifespan.
