How to Solve the Loss of Driver's License and Vehicle License?

You can apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office of the original registration location. The process is as follows: 1. If the driver's license and vehicle license are lost, the driver should apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the license was issued. Cross-regional replacement is not supported. 2. You need to fill out the "Motor Vehicle License Application Form", submit the original ID card and copies of both sides, two 1-inch white background photos. For non-local residents, the original and copy of the temporary residence permit are also required. 3. When applying for a replacement, you need to fill out a written statement of loss for the motor vehicle license. After submitting all materials, you can receive the new license by paying a 15 yuan processing fee.

Last time I went to replace my driver's license, it was super easy—just had to do it on the 12123 APP. First, you need to report the loss by clicking 'Driver's License Replacement' on the homepage and following the steps. Even if you're in a different city, you can apply directly and choose mail delivery or self-pickup. A quick tip: remember to bring a 1-inch white-background photo, though you can take one at the DMV for a higher fee. The whole process can be done in as fast as half an hour, but note that the original license becomes invalid once replaced—even if you find it, don’t use it. Oh, and if you’re pulled over by traffic police during the replacement period, just show your electronic driver's license—no problem.

As a veteran driver who has replaced my license three times, here's some solid advice: To replace your vehicle license, you need to visit the DMV window with just your ID and vehicle photos. A pro tip is to get your vehicle photos taken in advance – some repair shops can take photos that meet the specifications. Actually, the most troublesome part is the commercial vehicle operating permits; replacing a regular passenger vehicle license is really not difficult. On the day you replace it, don't drive there – driving without a license will cost you points, so taking a taxi is the safest bet. Finally, remember to check if the annual inspection records on the duplicate copy of the vehicle license are intact. I've had friends who found their duplicates were washed out after replacement.

For friends in urgent need of documents, here's how to handle it: To reissue a vehicle license, you need to drive to the DMV for vehicle inspection and photo taking. However, now you can apply for a driver's license replacement on the 12123 app without even uploading a photo, as it directly uses your ID photo. If both documents are lost, it's recommended to replace the vehicle license first and then the driver's license, because the vehicle inspection requires the owner's driver's license. A small tip is to apply for an electronic document on the app as a temporary emergency measure, but it's only valid for a few days. If you find your documents being misused, you must register and file a report at the police station. Don't be lazy about this, otherwise, you might not be able to clarify subsequent responsibilities.
