What kind of damage to a license plate makes it illegal to drive?
1 Answers
Motor vehicle license plates with fractures, severe damage, blurred characters, or significant peeling of the base paint cannot be driven and should be replaced immediately. Documents required for license plate replacement: Original and copy of the identity proof of the motor vehicle owner; "Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form" (please read the instructions on the back of the form carefully when filling it out), signed by the authorized person for company vehicles or by the owner for personal vehicles; if handled by an agent, the original and copy of the agent's identity proof must also be submitted (if the agent is a company, the original and copy of the handler's identity proof are also required), along with a written authorization from the motor vehicle owner, and the agent must sign the "Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form". License plate replacement process at the DMV: Fill out the "Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form"; submit the required documents (vehicle registration certificate, original ID and its copy, damaged license plate); pay the fee and receive a temporary license plate. Temporary license plates can be applied for a maximum of three times, after which the application will be locked and no further applications can be made.
