Reissuing the vehicle registration certificate requires the following materials: 'Motor Vehicle License Plate and Certificate Application Form', the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof, and the Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form (processed on-site). Additional information: 1. If the vehicle owner is an individual: the original ID card of the owner is required (for non-local residents, the original residence permit is needed). 2. If the vehicle owner is a company: the original business license and a photocopy with the company's official seal, the original ID card of the agent, and a written authorization from the vehicle owner signed by the agent with the company's official seal are required.

I just went through the process of replacing the vehicle registration certificate (big green book). As an experienced driver, let me share some tips. The most critical part is having all required documents: 1) The original ID card and its copy of the vehicle owner - without it you can't prove identity; 2) Provide either the license plate number or VIN to help the DMV verify vehicle information; 3) It's best to bring a police report - I filed one at the local station when mine got lost to prevent potential misuse; 4) Visit your local DMV to fill out an application form, which may require signing and taking photos. The whole process usually takes about an hour with a nominal fee of just tens of RMB. Remember you can still drive normally during replacement but avoid any vehicle transactions to prevent complications. My advice: always keep a scanned electronic copy on your phone for easy access, so you won't lose it again.

As someone who frequently deals with car paperwork, I remind everyone that when applying for a replacement of the vehicle registration certificate (big green book), don't just focus on the document list. The core requirements are your ID card, vehicle information proof, and a loss statement or police report receipt. However, local policies vary. For example, last time I applied, they also required verification of the car keys to confirm ownership. So, it's best to check the local DMV website or call ahead to confirm. The replacement process is usually fast and reliable, often issuing the new certificate on the same day. But if there's a delay, drive carefully as police may check your documents. Losing the big green book can lead to serious trouble if misused, such as unauthorized ownership transfers, so timely replacement is crucial. The cost is low but its value is high. After replacement, storing an electronic copy in a sealed bag adds extra security.

When I was a novice, I had to replace the big green book (vehicle registration certificate). Here’s a quick summary of the required documents: Bring the original and a copy of your ID card, and make sure you know your vehicle’s license plate number to avoid delays. Just fill out the application form and submit it. It’s best to get a theft report from the police station first to prevent future disputes. The whole process is simple and efficient—I got it done in one trip to the DMV, and it only cost a few dozen yuan. Keep a copy of the documents at home as a backup, and don’t carry the big green book around—it’s easy to lose.

To efficiently reapply for the vehicle title (big green book), document preparation is key. The original ID card is essential, and having a copy saves time; the vehicle identification number, such as the VIN, must be memorized; plus, a loss statement or police report speeds up form filling. Head straight to the DMV—mornings are less crowded, fill out the forms, and wait about half an hour to receive the new title. The whole process costs a little but brings peace of mind. After reissuance, it's recommended to store it in a safe place, not left around. To prevent loss, take a photo and save it on your phone for easy verification.

How often should the transmission be serviced?

Transmission should be serviced every 2 years or every 40,000 kilometers driven. Different vehicle models may have different requirements, so it's advisable to refer to the maintenance manual for appropriate automatic transmission service intervals. Transmissions are divided into manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations. Automatic transmissions are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, hydraulic torque variation systems, and hydraulic control systems. The function of the transmission is to change the transmission ratio, expanding the range of torque and speed variation of the driving wheels to adapt to frequently changing driving conditions, while allowing the engine to operate under favorable working conditions.

What does vehicle fuel consumption mean?

Vehicle fuel consumption refers to the amount of fuel consumed per 100 kilometers driven at a certain speed, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer under objective conditions using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated as the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the vehicle model when driven at specified speeds. Fuel consumption includes constant-speed fuel consumption and road cycle fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when the vehicle is driven at a constant speed on good road surfaces, while road cycle fuel consumption is the fuel economy indicator measured when the vehicle is driven on roads according to specified speed and time specifications in repeated cycles, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption.
