Documents required for vehicle license replacement include: Application form for reissuance or replacement of motor vehicle license plates and certificates, original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's ID, original and duplicate of the motor vehicle driving license, three one-inch digital color photos of the driver with white background, and the motor vehicle driver's physical condition certificate. Time for vehicle license replacement: It is necessary to participate in the motor vehicle inspection within 90 days, i.e., three months in advance. Function of the vehicle license: Article 17 of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations" promulgated by the State Council stipulates: "Vehicles must pass the inspection by the vehicle management authority and obtain license plates and a vehicle license before they are allowed to drive." Therefore, holding a "Motor Vehicle Driving License" is one of the prerequisites for a vehicle to be driven on the road. Driving without carrying the vehicle license is a violation, whether the driver has not obtained the "Motor Vehicle Driving License" or simply forgot to carry it.

I've changed my license several times, remember to bring the original ID card and a copy, and also take the original vehicle registration certificate, these are mandatory. Don't forget the copy of the valid compulsory traffic insurance policy, as the DMV often checks this to ensure the policy hasn't expired, otherwise you'll have to reapply. I recommend going on weekdays when it's less crowded, so things get done faster; if vehicle photos are needed, wash your car in advance to keep it clean. Don't forget that the vehicle registration can be processed a few months before or after its expiration date, don't wait until the last day to avoid fines. With all the materials ready, just fill out a form and it's done, you'll get the new certificate in about half an hour. If the vehicle has a loan or mortgage, it's best to bring the bank proof. Last time I forgot to bring a copy and had to make an extra trip, learned my lesson.

I just renewed my driver's license recently. I prepared copies of both sides of my ID card, the original vehicle license, and a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance. Just fill out the forms at the DMV front desk, and the whole process was quite smooth. I recommend downloading the forms online and filling them out in advance to save time. I also brought a copy of the vehicle registration certificate, which isn't commonly required, but it's handy in case they check. The whole process took less than an hour, and the staff will verify your documents. Make sure your compulsory traffic insurance is valid and don't bring expired documents. My buddy suggested making an appointment via the app to avoid queues, but I didn't and still got it done quickly. You'll get your new license on the same day after renewal, so remember to check that all the information is correct.

Replacing your vehicle registration is straightforward. Bring the three essential documents: original and photocopy of your ID card, old vehicle license, and a copy of compulsory traffic insurance. Weekdays at the DMV are fastest, with immediate processing if all documents are complete. Ensure your insurance copy is clear—staff check details carefully. During the process, verify your vehicle's appearance as photos may be required on-site. The replacement is quick, with the new registration issued the same day. Handle expired registrations promptly to avoid fines. With these prepared, it takes just half an hour.
