What is the procedure for replacing a damaged license plate?

License plate damage should be addressed by visiting the vehicle management office to replace and obtain a new license plate. Below is an introduction to the method for replacing a damaged license plate: 1. Personal application: Bring your original ID card and a copy, the vehicle's registration certificate, the vehicle's driving license, and the damaged license plate to the motor vehicle business hall of the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered. Fill out an application form completely, pay the fee, and you can apply for a replacement. You can receive the new license plate within three days at the latest. 2. Authorized agent application: If you cannot be present in person, you can sign a power of attorney (requiring signatures from both parties) to authorize someone else to handle the procedure on your behalf. The agent must bring the original ID cards and copies of both parties, the registration certificate, and the driving license when applying.

I just got my license plate replaced. It's really troublesome when the plate is damaged, but the procedure isn't complicated. If your license plate is damaged, you must replace it, otherwise you'll be fined. First, bring your documents to the DMV, such as your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and the damaged plate—if the plate is lost, first go to the police station to get a loss certificate. Second, after arriving at the DMV, fill out an application form stating the reason, and they will verify the information. Third, pay a fee of about 20 to 50 yuan, depending on local regulations. The whole process takes less than half an hour, and they will collect the old plate and issue a new one to you. Don’t forget to get a temporary driving permit just in case you’re checked on the road. I recommend going on a weekday when it’s less crowded to save time. Don’t delay—safety first.

Bro, I know how it feels when there's a problem with the license plate! Last time my plate got bent in a collision, I went straight to the DMV. First, prepare the necessary documents: the owner's ID card, vehicle registration, and the damaged plate. Once there, queue up to get a number, fill out a plate replacement application form—it's super simple. The cost isn't much, just a few dozen bucks. They'll take the old plate and issue a new one, which you can stick on your car and leave. The whole process is lightning fast, done in about 15 minutes. Remember to check the WeChat appointment feature to save queue time. Don't wait too long—driving without a plate will get you pulled over by traffic police, and the fine isn't worth it.

As an experienced driver, handling license plate damage and replacement requires careful attention. I would first bring the vehicle owner's ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and the damaged license plate itself to the DMV. If the vehicle damage is severe, it's advisable to take photos with a mobile phone as proof. Upon arrival, staff will guide you through form filling and paying a small fee of a few dozen yuan. After receiving the new plates, install them immediately. It's best to avoid weekends and go in the morning for the smoothest process. Make sure to verify the new plates are correct before hitting the road to avoid future disputes. The entire procedure is legal and orderly—never cut corners by driving illegally.
