What is the front and back of the vehicle license?

The distinction between the original and duplicate copies of the vehicle license is as follows: 1. The original copy specifies the vehicle type, license number, personal information, vehicle details, date, and a photo of the vehicle. 2. The duplicate copy includes the approved passenger capacity, inspection record dates, and detailed vehicle information. The key point is that in the event of a traffic violation or accident, traffic police may confiscate the license, and the duplicate copy will be temporarily held. The required documents for replacing a vehicle license are as follows: 1. Proof of identity of the vehicle owner; 2. One photo of the vehicle for license replacement; 3. If applying for replacement of both license plates, a loss certificate issued by the local police station in the jurisdiction or where the plates were lost is required.
As an ordinary driver with years of experience, I have to say that the front and back of the vehicle license are just the two parts of that little booklet. The front side prints the basic information of the vehicle, such as the license plate number, model, and the owner's name. I carry it with me every time I go out, and when traffic police check the vehicle, they first look at the front to confirm if it's my car. The back side mainly records some variable information, like annual inspection stickers, engine replacement records, or traffic violation handling. Once, I was stopped for inspection, and the officer flipped to the back to carefully check if there was the latest annual inspection stamp—missing this could result in a fine. The front side is relatively fixed, rarely changed once issued, while the back side is dynamically updated, with staff attaching labels or stamps after regular inspections. In daily driving, keeping both sides intact is crucial. Never leave it in the car where it can get worn out, as reissuing it is quite troublesome and can disrupt normal travel. I recommend using a protective sleeve when carrying it with you, which not only safeguards the document but also allows for quick presentation.
