The 'Automobile Registration Certificate' refers to the motor vehicle registration certificate. Below are some details about the motor vehicle registration certificate: 1. The registration certificate is the legal proof of vehicle ownership, kept by the vehicle owner and does not need to be carried in the vehicle. 2. The registration certificate is required for any vehicle registration procedures such as transfer or change of ownership, and it records the relevant information of the vehicle, serving as the vehicle's 'household register'. Additional information: The conditions for reissuing the registration certificate are: 1. If the motor vehicle registration certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, the vehicle owner must apply for a replacement at the local vehicle management office. 2. Vehicle owners can authorize an agent to handle various motor vehicle registration and related procedures, except for applying for a replacement of the motor vehicle registration certificate. However, if the vehicle owner is unable to apply in person due to reasons such as death, being abroad, serious illness, disability, or force majeure, an agent can be authorized to apply on their behalf with relevant proof.
I've been in the used car trade for a while, and what we call the 'Car Big Book' is actually the official vehicle registration certificate – that important red or green booklet. It's the authoritative document proving vehicle ownership and the owner's identity. Without it, you can't complete transfers or resales, and you might even run into trouble if stopped by authorities. I must remind everyone: never misplace or lend this document to others. It contains critical data like the vehicle model, engine number, and owner details. Always inspect it thoroughly during transactions to prevent fraud. Once, I nearly got burned because a previous owner had tampered with it. Now, I keep it locked in a safe and verify it regularly.
