For vehicle registration, you need to bring the original owner's green registration book, the owner's driving license and ID card, the vehicle purchase tax invoice and book, the vehicle and vessel tax book, and the relevant documents processed at the time. The vehicle file can be ignored as it is available at the vehicle management office. Also required are the ID card and its copy. Below is an introduction to vehicle registration: 1. Note: When filing a tax return, the taxpayer shall truthfully fill in the "Vehicle Purchase Tax Return Form" (see attachment, hereinafter referred to as the tax return form) and provide the originals and copies of the following materials. 2. Content: The copies and the tax payment copy of the "Unified Invoice for Motor Vehicle Sales" (hereinafter referred to as the unified invoice) shall be retained by the competent tax authority, while other originals shall be returned to the taxpayer after review by the competent tax authority. 3. Conditions: For imported vehicles, provide the "Certificate of Imported Goods of the People's Republic of China" or the "Notice of Issuance (Cancellation) of License Plates for Imported (Exported) Vehicles under Customs Supervision of the People's Republic of China" or the "Certificate of Confiscation of Smuggled Vehicles and Motorcycles".
A while ago, I changed the color of my car and went to the vehicle management office to file the modification. I prepared six things. The original ID card and its copy are mandatory, and the green book (vehicle registration certificate) must also be brought, as the staff will verify the vehicle information in the system. Don’t forget the vehicle license—after filing, it will be reissued with a new photo. The application form can be filled out on-site, but I suggest downloading the template online in advance to avoid mistakes. The repainted car must be driven there for photos, so it needs to be thoroughly cleaned; if there are decals, you might need to restore the car to its original state. If you’re using a proxy, a power of attorney and the proxy’s ID card are required. The whole process takes about two hours, and remember to avoid Monday morning rush hours.
