How to Replace a Lost Vehicle Registration Certificate?
2 Answers
If the vehicle registration certificate is lost, it can only be replaced at the vehicle management office where the vehicle was originally registered. Here are more details: 1. Required materials include: (1) For individual vehicle owners: original and photocopy of ID card, and for temporary residents, original and photocopy of residence permit are also required. (2) For corporate vehicle owners: provide the original organization code certificate, original ID card of the agent, and the agent must submit a written authorization from the vehicle owner with the company's official seal. 2. Other requirements: To apply for a replacement of the vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle owner must drive the vehicle to the vehicle management office. For natural persons applying for a replacement of the 'Vehicle Registration Certificate,' they must apply in person and cannot authorize others to act on their behalf. If the vehicle owner cannot apply in person due to reasons such as death, overseas travel, severe illness or disability, or force majeure, relevant proof must be provided. Then, with the notarized relevant proof and written authorization from the vehicle owner, an authorized agent can apply for the replacement.
I accidentally lost my car registration certificate before, which made me quite anxious since it's an important document. After checking, I found that I could simply go to the local vehicle management office to apply for a replacement. I needed to bring my original ID card and a copy, as well as the vehicle license. I filled out an application form, explained the loss situation, and the fee was around fifty yuan, which isn't too expensive. I got the new certificate after a few days. When I went to handle it, there weren't many people, and the staff were very patient. They just asked for the license plate number and vehicle information, and it was done. I suggest being careful when keeping it in the car, or taking a photo and storing it on your phone as a backup. If you lose it, deal with it early—don't delay, as it can become more troublesome and risky. After getting it replaced, driving out feels much more secure, avoiding any issues during vehicle checks.
