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.

What Causes a Strong Gasoline Smell When Turning on the Car Heater?

Strong gasoline smell when turning on the car heater can be caused by: 1. Damaged carbon canister; 2. Overfilled fuel tank; 3. Damaged fuel pipe joints, injector seals, or carbon canister solenoid valve. Solutions for strong gasoline smell when using the car heater include: 1. Replacing the gasket inside the fuel tank cap; 2. Replacing the gasoline rubber hose; 3. Cleaning components such as the fuel pump, fuel filter, carbon canister, fuel injectors, and throttle body. The car heater utilizes waste heat generated by the engine operation. When the engine's cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, a fan directs this heat into the cabin to provide warm air. When the heater is not in use, the fan stops, the heating vents close, and the dissipated heat is released into the air. The car heater is essentially a form of waste heat recycling.
