Is It Possible Not to Report Stolen License Plates to the Police?
1 Answers
It is possible not to report stolen license plates to the police, but filing a police report can serve as legal evidence, helping to avoid issues with related administrative procedures. The vehicle management office requires that, in order to obtain a renewal quota, the old vehicle must be recovered, and a vehicle theft certificate must be issued by the public security department. However, if the public security department cannot file a case, the certificate cannot be issued. According to regulations, individuals may be unable to participate in license plate auctions or lotteries, potentially facing a situation where they own a car but no license plate. Once a vehicle under one's name is lost, it is best to report it immediately to obtain legal documentation and apply for a note at the vehicle management office. The following are situations regarding not reporting lost license plates: 1. If an individual has two motor vehicles under their name, only one can obtain a renewal quota. Vehicles under an individual's name must undergo legal deregistration procedures. Failure to do so will result in the inability to obtain a renewal quota. 2. A renewal quota can be obtained by scrapping the vehicle, but the vehicle must meet certain conditions. First, the vehicle must be taken to a scrapping company for lawful destruction, and the company must issue a destruction certificate. With this certificate, along with the owner's ID and other materials, the owner can proceed to the vehicle management office for deregistration. After completing the deregistration, the owner can apply for a small vehicle renewal quota at the municipal transportation commission.
