To what extent should a license plate be repainted before replacement?

[JuneMarie]

If the background color or character color of the license plate shows significant fading, the reflective performance of the characters is inconsistent, or the background reflection is uneven, affecting the recognition of the motor vehicle license plate, then a new license plate should be replaced. Other situations requiring replacement: Damage to the mounting holes of the license plate or other physical or chemical damage; incomplete motor vehicle registration number; severe breakage, damage, or illegible characters on the motor vehicle license plate; license plates that are soiled, deformed, or damaged should be replaced promptly. Method for replacing a license plate: The owner of the motor vehicle should apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered. When applying, the owner should fill out an application form and submit proof of identity. The vehicle management office will review the submitted documents and proofs, retrieve the undestroyed, lost, or damaged license plate and registration certificate, and reissue or replace the license plate within 15 days from the date of acceptance, with the original motor vehicle license plate number remaining unchanged.
