Motor vehicle licenses consist of three parts: the document, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed certificate core, while the back features a photo of the vehicle, sealed in plastic. The supplementary page is also an endorsed certificate core. Here is additional information: 1. Vehicle license and driver's license: These are two essential documents for driving legally. The vehicle license pertains to the inspection and approval of the vehicle, while the driver's license pertains to the driver. The vehicle license requires annual inspection, whereas the driver's license is primarily managed through penalty points and fines for traffic violations. 2. Lost certificates: If the "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate" is lost or destroyed, a new one will be reissued 30 days after the application date. If the "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate" is illegible, it will be reissued on the same day.

Just finished the vehicle registration process? Let me share some tips: Original ID card is a must—individual applicants need their own ID, while company applicants must bring the original business license copy and company seal. Here’s the key! Never lose the vehicle certificate of conformity—without it, the inspector won’t even enter your info into the system. The invoice must be the nationally standardized new car invoice; for used cars, a transfer invoice is required. Nowadays, compulsory traffic insurance policies are mostly electronic, but remember to print a copy in advance and clip it with your documents. Here’s a lesser-known fact: Vehicle purchase tax must be paid before the inspection—if you reach the counter and say you haven’t paid, you’ll be sent back to the end of the line. Oh, and don’t forget: Temporary license plates must be obtained before driving to the DMV—don’t naively drive your new car there directly, or you’ll be caught for unlicensed driving.

Years of experience at the DMV: The motor vehicle registration form must be filled out truthfully, and any alterations require fingerprint confirmation. It's advisable to make two extra copies of the invoice and ID card, as the counter sometimes requests resubmission due to unclear scans. Non-local residents should prepare the original residence permit, as some cities only accept permits valid for more than six months. The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate can now be self-printed, but there's often a queue by the self-service machines, so arriving 30 minutes early is recommended. Prepare two copies of the VIN rubbing strip, as the DMV often requires one for the engine compartment and another for the door frame. When taking the driver's license photo on-site, remember to check if the reflective strips reflect light—I've seen too many people sent back for retakes due to blurred photos from reflection.

A Rookie Driver's Blood and Tears Story of Getting a License: Book your vehicle inspection slot online three days in advance to save two hours of waiting for a number on-site! Don't trust scalpers at the DMV offering expedited services—doing it yourself only costs 120 yuan in fees. If the engine number is blocked, you'll need to remove the decorative panel, so remember to bring a toolkit. Those who modified their wheel rim size must revert to the factory specifications before inspection—even a one-millimeter difference will fail. Place the warning triangle on the right side of the trunk and don’t hide it too deep; the inspector will ask you to take it out for a photo. The trickiest part is the insurance policy—electronic versions must display a verification code, so never just screenshot the page without the QR code. Don’t screw on the license plate bolts yourself; after inspection, ask the technician for anti-theft screws.
