What documents are needed to replace a motor vehicle driving license?
2 Answers
You only need to bring a 1-inch photo, your ID card and its photocopy, fill out the application form for reissuing a motor vehicle driving license, and then go to the vehicle management office under the jurisdiction of the residential address recorded in your identity document to complete the procedure. The time for replacing a driving license has been shortened from the original 30 working days to 3 days, and generally, you can receive it within 48 hours at the latest. More relevant information is as follows: 1. After the replacement application is successfully processed, you cannot drive a motor vehicle with the original driving license before receiving the new one: If the driving license replacement application is accepted but you cannot obtain the new license on the same day due to time constraints, you are not allowed to drive during this 'gap period' before receiving the new driving license, otherwise, it will be considered as driving without a license. 2. After obtaining the new driving license, the original motor vehicle driving license becomes invalid: If you lose your driving license and obtain a new one, even if you find the original driving license later, the original one will be deemed invalid, and the new driving license will be the valid document.
I just had my vehicle license replaced. Just bring the original ID card of the vehicle owner plus a copy. Remember the vehicle needs to be present because the staff will verify the VIN. If you're authorizing someone else to handle it, you'll also need to prepare a power of attorney and bring the authorized person's ID. The green book (vehicle registration certificate) is mandatory - that document is very important. It's safer to prepare three copies of everything, as the print shops near the DMV always have long queues. It's best to make an appointment first on the 12123 APP to avoid a wasted trip. The replacement fee is about 15 yuan in cash, though some locations now accept mobile payments.
