What Documents Are Needed for Green Book Replacement?
2 Answers
To replace the green book, you need to bring the original driver's license, original ID card, a 1-inch white background photo of yourself, a medical examination form, and the replacement fee. The process for replacing the driver's license: Fill out the motor vehicle driver's license application form; the staff will verify the documents, check the demerit points, etc. If there are no issues, the next step is on-site photo taking, with one photo used for the new license; then undergo a medical examination to obtain a motor vehicle driver's physical condition certificate; return to the original processing window for final signing, where the staff will ask you to sign the motor vehicle driver's license application form, collect the replacement fee, print the new driver's license, and the replacement process is completed. Replacement period: Generally, the new license is valid for 6 years. If there is no full demerit record within the first 6 years of validity, the next replacement period will be 10 years; the validity period is marked on the license, and you must personally go to complete the replacement procedures within 3 months before the expiration date.
I've gone through the process of replacing the green vehicle registration book several times, and bringing all the required materials can save a lot of hassle. The most basic items are the original ID card of the vehicle owner and one or two copies, as well as the vehicle license. If the original green book is missing, you'll need to obtain a loss certificate or a replacement application first, otherwise the service window won't be able to process your request. Additionally, don't forget to bring some cash or a bank card, as there's a fee for the replacement, which can vary from a few dozen to around a hundred yuan depending on the location. Last time, I almost forgot to bring the vehicle inspection report—some regions are strict and require a pre-inspection to prove the vehicle is in normal condition. In short, it's safer to call the vehicle management office beforehand to confirm the specific requirements before making a trip. Otherwise, missing something can lead to wasted time going back and forth. Preparing copies in advance can also save you the rush of finding a place to make copies on-site.
