What is the Vehicle License File Number?
2 Answers
The vehicle license file number refers to the digital code printed in the 'File Number' column on the motor vehicle driving license, typically a 12-digit serial number. It facilitates the query of traffic violation records for the license, usually located on the right side of the third line at the top of the supplementary page of the driving license. The 'Motor Vehicle Driving License' held by the driver contains detailed information, including the license plate number, owner's name, vehicle model and type, engine number and chassis number, load capacity or passenger capacity, initial registration date, and annual inspection records. The 'Motor Vehicle Driving License' is unique in nature, meaning that for a single motor vehicle, there is only one set of engine and chassis numbers and one license plate number. The owner of a bullet train must have the vehicle undergo a safety technical inspection at a motor vehicle safety technical inspection institution and apply for registration after obtaining the motor vehicle safety technical inspection certificate. However, this does not apply to motor vehicles imported through customs or those exempted from safety technical inspections as determined by the competent department of motor vehicle products under the State Council.
As someone who frequently helps friends with car-related matters, I think the vehicle registration file number is worth discussing. Simply put, it's a unique identification code assigned by the vehicle management office during registration, usually located at the top of the vehicle license or next to the document number. This number plays a significant role—for instance, when handling traffic violations, annual inspections, or insurance claims, entering this number instantly retrieves all vehicle records, saving you the hassle of running around and filling out piles of forms. I remember last time when helping with a used car transfer, providing the file number allowed the staff to clarify everything in just two minutes—super convenient. If you accidentally lose your vehicle license, having this number makes replacement much faster. I recommend all car owners save it in their phone notes or take a photo for easy and secure access. Additionally, entering it into the vehicle management office's system lets you check the vehicle's history, helping avoid buying problematic cars—I've seen plenty of such cases, so it's better to be cautious.
