What to Do If the Duplicate Copy of the Vehicle License Is Lost?
2 Answers
First, report the loss of the vehicle license and then go to the Vehicle Management Office to fill out the "Application Form for Replacement of Motor Vehicle License Plates and Certificates". You need to fill out the "Declaration of Loss of Motor Vehicle Driving License", which can also be obtained on-site at the Vehicle Management Office.
I just lost the duplicate copy of my motor vehicle license, and I've been through this before, feeling quite anxious. Remember not to drive on the road immediately, as traffic police checks without the license are considered a violation, which may result in fines or vehicle impoundment. I quickly pulled out my ID card and the original vehicle license (if available), along with the vehicle registration certificate—these are the essential materials for reissuance. Then, I headed straight to the vehicle management office, queued up on-site to apply for a new duplicate copy. The staff processed it quite quickly, though sometimes forms need to be filled or a small handling fee is required. For safety, I also applied for a temporary driving permit to avoid travel delays. During the period of losing the license, it's best to contact the insurance company to confirm whether it affects claims. In short, act quickly, and as a preventive measure, regularly scan your documents and store them on your phone to avoid losing them again. This incident taught me that document management should not be taken lightly.
