How to Replace a Lost Motorcycle License Plate?
2 Answers
Here are the solutions for replacing a lost motorcycle license plate: 1. Apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered: Bring the vehicle owner's identity proof and vehicle registration certificate, and fill out the "Application Form for Replacement or Renewal of Motor Vehicle License." The license plate will be reissued within 15 days from the date of acceptance by the vehicle management office. During this period, a temporary license plate will be issued to the vehicle owner. 2. Required documents and materials: (1) "Motor Vehicle License Application Form"; (2) Original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof (non-local residents must also provide the original and photocopy of a temporary residence permit or residence certificate); (3) If handled by an agent, the agent must submit the original and photocopy of their identity proof, along with a written authorization letter from the vehicle owner (if the agent is a company, the handler's identity proof and a letter of authorization with the company's official seal must also be submitted); (4) If the license plate is illegible or one plate is lost, the original plate must be returned.
I've been riding a motorcycle for a while, and last time after parking on the roadside, my license plate mysteriously disappeared, which made me quite nervous. I hurried to the traffic police station to report the loss, bringing my ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and photos of the vehicle, and filled out an application form. The cost wasn't high—about 50 yuan for the replacement fee, and the cancellation of the old plate could be completed on the spot. Remember not to drive the unlicensed vehicle on the road, otherwise you might face a fine of 100-200 yuan, and you can also buy a temporary license plate for emergencies. The vehicle management office processes it quickly, and the new plate can be mailed or picked up in a few days. It's recommended to check if the license plate fixing bolts are loose before reapplying to prevent recurrence. The whole process is simple and time-saving, so don't procrastinate and delay your travel.
