What documents are needed to replace the vehicle registration certificate?
2 Answers
Documents required for replacing the vehicle registration certificate include the "Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form", the original and a copy of the identity proof of the vehicle owner, and the Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form (processed on-site). The following is an introduction to the relevant information about the replacement: To apply for a replacement of the motor vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle owner should drive the vehicle to the vehicle management office. If the vehicle owner is a natural person applying for the replacement of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate", they must apply in person and cannot delegate the task to someone else. If the vehicle owner cannot apply in person due to reasons such as death, travel abroad, serious illness, disability, or force majeure, they can authorize an agent to apply for the replacement of the motor vehicle registration certificate with relevant proof. The owner can authorize an agent to apply for various motor vehicle registrations and businesses, except for the application to replace the motor vehicle registration certificate. If the vehicle owner is unable to apply for the replacement of the motor vehicle registration certificate due to death, travel abroad, serious illness, disability, or force majeure, they can authorize an agent to apply for the replacement certificate on their behalf with the relevant documents.
Last time I went to reapply for the vehicle registration certificate, I brought the original and photocopy of my ID card, as well as the duplicate of the vehicle's license. The staff at the vehicle management office needed to verify the VIN or license plate number, so it's best to note down this information or look it up in advance. Additionally, you need to fill out an application form, which is provided on-site but can be downloaded and filled out ahead of time to save time. Bring a few dozen yuan in cash or a card to cover the fee. The whole process takes about an hour, and queuing is common, so it's advisable to go early on a weekday to avoid peak times. After obtaining the replacement, check that the information on the new certificate is correct to avoid future hassles.
