What procedures are required to change a car logo?
2 Answers
To change a car logo, you need to bring your ID card, vehicle license, motor vehicle alteration registration application form, motor vehicle registration certificate, and other required documents to the local vehicle management office or environmental protection bureau where the car is registered. Changing a car logo is considered an alteration of the vehicle's appearance and requires corresponding alteration registration procedures at the vehicle management office. If the change is made privately without registration, you may be fined. Article 10 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" stipulates that registered motor vehicles must apply for alteration registration at the local vehicle management office under any of the following circumstances: 1. Changing the body color; 2. Replacing the engine; 3. Replacing the body or frame; 4. Replacing the entire vehicle due to quality issues; 5. Changing the use nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa; 6. The motor vehicle owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office.
I've also considered changing the car emblem before. As someone who loves tinkering with cars, I found the process isn't that simple. First, you need to check local regulations—many places consider altering emblems illegal due to brand infringement issues. You must apply for modification registration at the vehicle management office. Gather documents like the vehicle license and ID card to fill out the application form. After approval, you'll need to arrange a vehicle inspection to ensure safety compliance. If you modify it without authorization and get caught by traffic police, you could face fines of hundreds of yuan, vehicle impoundment, or even be forced to restore it to original condition. I recommend searching online for specific policies before proceeding or visiting the vehicle management office to clarify details—don't risk major consequences for minor gains.
