What is the green booklet called when buying a car?

The green booklet for a vehicle is the vehicle registration certificate, commonly referred to as the "Big Green Book" due to its green cover. Here are some details about the vehicle registration certificate: 1. The vehicle registration certificate is not a legal proof of vehicle ownership. 2. It is an administrative document permitting the vehicle to be driven on the road and is issued together with the vehicle license plate and driving permit when registering the vehicle. Additional information: 1. Function: The vehicle registration certificate is an essential property document for the vehicle, kept by the vehicle owner and not carried in the vehicle. It is required for any vehicle registration procedures such as transfer or change of ownership, and records relevant information about the vehicle, acting as the vehicle's "household register." 2. Replacement: To apply for a replacement of the vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle owner must bring the vehicle to the vehicle management office. If the vehicle owner is an individual applying for a replacement of the "Vehicle Registration Certificate," they must apply in person and cannot delegate the task to someone else.

Haha, that green booklet is what we commonly call the 'Green Book', which is actually the vehicle registration certificate. When you buy a car, the salesperson or the vehicle management office will give it to you. It proves that the car is yours and records details like the VIN, engine number, and your personal information. Don’t underestimate it—during used car transactions or ownership transfers, the Green Book is an essential document. Without it, you can’t complete the procedures. I recommend taking a photo backup immediately after receiving it and keeping the original in a safe place, like a home safe, to avoid the hassle and time-consuming process of reissuing it if lost. Also, regularly check the information on the Green Book for accuracy to prevent disputes that could affect future use.

Last time when I bought my first car, I was also curious about this green booklet. A friend told me it's called the 'Green Book', which is the vehicle's registration certificate, equivalent to the car's ID card. The moment I got it, I felt much more at ease, as it proved that I truly owned the car. Later, I learned how crucial the Green Book is—it contains the owner's information and detailed vehicle data, such as the production date. When selling the car, you must present the Green Book. If it's lost, getting a replacement at the DMV can take several days. I usually carry it with me for emergencies, but I have to be careful not to damage or soil it.

As a car expert, I think that green booklet is commonly referred to as the 'Green Book', with its official name being the Vehicle Registration Certificate. It is issued to you after completing procedures at the vehicle management office, confirming your ownership of the vehicle. It lists key details for easy information verification. Don't misplace it when storing, as transactions or resales may be hindered without the Green Book.
