How to Replace the Vehicle License in Another Location?

It is not possible to replace the vehicle license in another location; you must apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office of the registration location. According to Article 44 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations": If the motor vehicle license plate or vehicle license is lost, missing, or damaged, the owner of the motor vehicle must apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office of the registration location. When applying, the owner must fill out an application form and submit proof of identity. Instructions for replacing the vehicle license: 1. Expired Vehicle License: If the motor vehicle license is about to expire, the owner must participate in the motor vehicle inspection within 90 days before the expiration date. Non-exempt vehicle owners must bring a power of attorney, the vehicle license, and the compulsory traffic insurance policy to the motor vehicle inspection station at the testing location for vehicle inspection. Upon passing the inspection, they can directly apply for the inspection compliance mark at the station. 2. Exempt Vehicles: For vehicles exempt from inspection within 6 years, the public security traffic management department will no longer inspect the motor vehicle when issuing the inspection mark. They will only review the Motor Vehicle Inspection Mark Application Form, the motor vehicle license, the motor vehicle traffic accident liability compulsory insurance certificate, and the vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate, while verifying traffic safety violations and accident handling records.
I also encountered the situation of needing to change my driving license while working in another city before. Now it's very convenient and you don't have to go back to your hometown to handle it. Just go directly to the local vehicle management office with your original ID card, old driving license, and valid compulsory traffic insurance policy. Take a photo of your car that meets the specifications in advance, or you can take one on-site if necessary. Remember to check the processing hours of nearby vehicle management offices online in advance to avoid peak times and save time from queuing. The staff will ask you to drive your car to the inspection area to verify the VIN, and you can basically get the new license on the spot. The fee is only about ten yuan. However, the process may vary slightly in different places. I especially remind you to check if there are any outstanding traffic violations, as this can delay the license renewal process.
