What is the online license plate replacement process?
2 Answers
Vehicle registration certificate, original ID card of the vehicle owner and one copy, and the damaged license plate. In addition to the above materials, the original ID card and a copy of the entrusted person must also be provided, along with the original written power of attorney. After filling out the "Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form" and submitting the materials, receive the acceptance receipt and pay the fee to obtain a temporary license plate. Generally, after 8 working days, return to the vehicle management office with the payment receipt, registration certificate, and acceptance receipt to collect the new license plate at the issuance window.
Oh, I'm so familiar with replacing license plates online. Last time my plate got bent, I handled it directly through the Traffic Management 12123 app. Just open the app, click 'More', find 'Replace Motor Vehicle License Plate', and upload photos of the front and back of your ID card and the vehicle registration certificate. When filling out the form, remember to double-check the license plate number and address. If you choose mail delivery, it usually arrives in two or three days, or you can pick it up at the DMV. The cost is 100 yuan for the processing fee plus 20 yuan for postage. After payment, keep an eye on SMS notifications—approval usually takes half a day. Most importantly, don’t forget to use a temporary plate in the meantime. If you’re caught driving without one, you’ll lose 9 points. The whole process is super simple, much easier than going to the DMV in person.
