Motor vehicle registration certificate is used to explain the origin of the car, future changes and other procedures, transactions, etc. will be reflected on it, equivalent to a person's ID card. Scope of use of vehicle registration certificate: Change the color of the motor vehicle body, replace the engine, replace the body or frame, replace the whole vehicle due to quality problems, change the operating motor vehicle to a non-operating motor vehicle or change the non-operating motor vehicle to a non-operating motor vehicle, the domicile of the motor vehicle owner moves out of the city or moves into the jurisdiction of the city. Basic content of vehicle registration certificate: The motor vehicle registration certificate information column should clearly display the vehicle type, brand, model, frame number, engine number, imported or domestic, fuel type, displacement, manufacturer, wheelbase, track, tire specifications, vehicle acquisition method, use nature, production date and issuance date, with the issuing authority seal. The side business shows whether there has been a mortgage, the number of mortgages, whether there has been a transfer and the number of transfers.
As a car owner who frequently buys and sells vehicles, I deeply understand the importance of the vehicle registration certificate: this document is like the ID card of the car, proving my legal ownership. When I bought my first car, the dealer didn't provide the registration certificate, which delayed the transfer process for a month—it was a huge hassle. Later, when selling my old car, the buyer insisted on seeing my registration certificate before agreeing to the transaction, as without it, the DMV wouldn't process the paperwork. In daily driving, it also comes in handy. For example, last year when my car was involved in an accident, the insurance company required me to provide a copy of the registration certificate to process the claim; otherwise, the payout would have been delayed. During annual inspections, repair shops or the DMV check the original document to prevent illegal modifications. Keeping this document safe is crucial—if lost, replacing it is both time-consuming and costly. In short, it's not just for transactions; it's an essential for maintaining road safety, from insurance to legal matters—you can't do without it.
