What does 'getting the green book' mean?
1 Answers
Getting the green book means obtaining the vehicle registration certificate. Meaning of the green book: The green book generally refers to the vehicle registration certificate. However, the registration certificate is not a legal proof of vehicle ownership; it is actually an administrative document permitting the vehicle to be driven on the road. In practice, many people mistakenly believe that the 'green book' is a legal proof of vehicle ownership, which is incorrect. For the purposes of traffic management, the vehicle management office of the public security authority confirms the owner of the vehicle based on the purchase invoice or legal documents such as court judgments, rulings, or mediation agreements when issuing vehicle licenses. Therefore, the owner registered by the public security authority should not be used as the basis for determining vehicle ownership. Solutions for losing the green book: If the green book is lost, promptly go to the vehicle management office to apply for a replacement. Generally, you only need to bring the original ID card of the vehicle owner and the vehicle's driving license to apply for a replacement. Remember that the owner must personally go to the office to handle the replacement, and the corresponding vehicle must be driven there for inspection.
