What does the vehicle's 'big book' mean?

[LeCayden]

Automobile 'big book' refers to the motor vehicle registration certificate. Below is relevant information about the motor vehicle registration certificate: Legal basis: The registration certificate serves as the legal proof of vehicle ownership, kept by the vehicle owner and does not need to be carried in the vehicle. It is required to present the automobile 'big book' when handling any vehicle registration procedures such as transfer or change of ownership, and it records relevant information about the vehicle, equivalent to the vehicle's household registration document. Functions of the registration certificate: Check whether the owner's ID documents match those used when applying for the motor vehicle registration certificate, and whether the numbers correspond, to confirm if it's a first-hand vehicle. Pay special attention to the content filled in the domestic/import section of the motor vehicle registration certificate; terms such as 'import', 'customs', 'industrial and commercial confiscation', or 'overseas self-brought' may affect the vehicle's selling price.

The term 'big green book' that we car owners commonly refer to is officially called the Vehicle Registration Certificate. Having driven for over a decade, I've noticed many first-time car buyers don't pay much attention to it. In fact, this document is as important as a person's ID card - it contains all the vehicle's information including the engine number, chassis number, manufacturing date, and records of previous owners. I remember helping a friend buy a used car last year, only to find the original owner had lost this certificate, which delayed the transaction by half a month. It should always be stored separately from the vehicle license, preferably in a home safe or fireproof box. Never leave it in the car or mortgage it to unreliable institutions. If you need to apply for a replacement, not only will you have to queue at the DMV, but also publish a newspaper announcement - the whole process is extremely troublesome.

The 'Da Ben' of a car is actually the vehicle's 'Big Green Book', the professional term being the Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate. When I first got my new car, I didn't understand this either, until the bank directly took this book when I was applying for a loan. The loan manager told me that the 'Da Ben' is the only legal document proving vehicle ownership, just like the property deed for a house. Without it, you can neither sell the car nor transfer ownership. A friend of mine forgot to retrieve the 'Da Ben' after paying off the car loan, which delayed selling the car. This book records in detail the vehicle's technical parameters, usage nature, and mortgage records, even details like color changes are noted in it. Now I keep it locked in the same drawer as my property deed, because if it's lost, the replacement process takes two to three weeks, and the vehicle needs to be re-inspected, which is a headache just thinking about it.

The 'big green book' refers to the green-covered vehicle registration certificate, which is unique to each car. This document serves as the core proof of a vehicle's legality, containing comprehensive information such as the engine model, displacement, approved passenger capacity, and the time and location of each ownership transfer. When buying a used car, if the registration certificate has been altered or is missing pages, the vehicle cannot be transferred at all. I recommend taking photos of every page of the registration certificate after purchasing a car as a backup in case it gets lost. Although it's not usually needed, it will be required by staff during accident claims or vehicle inspections.

The vehicle's 'big book', that A4-sized green booklet, is officially called the Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate. I learned its importance firsthand when helping a relative with a used car transfer - without this certificate, the transaction is void. This document clearly records crucial information like whether the vehicle is for commercial use, or if it's been impounded or mortgaged. For instance, some mortgaged vehicles have this noted in the certificate, and unwary buyers can easily fall into this trap. I've heard the new versions have stricter anti-counterfeit features, with special watermarks and color-shifting inks. I always remind young first-time car buyers: it's better to keep the insurance policy in the car than this certificate, because losing it would be a real headache.

The 'Big Green Book' of a car is commonly referred to as the vehicle's major green book, officially known as the Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate. This document is extremely important as it serves as the ownership credential issued by the vehicle management office. Initially, I found it puzzling because the vehicle license also proves ownership, right? Later, I learned that the license only reflects the current status, while the 'Big Green Book' records the complete historical trajectory of the vehicle. For example, checking maintenance records for used cars or verifying changes in body color requires this document. Once, when dealing with an accident dispute, the insurance company insisted on reviewing the 'Big Green Book' to confirm if the vehicle had been modified. The current version of the certificate has been upgraded with an electronic chip, but the paper copy still needs to be stored properly. It's recommended to keep it with the car purchase invoice to avoid moisture or sun exposure that could cause the text to fade.
