What to Do If the Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate Is Lost?

[JordanAnn]

If the motor vehicle registration certificate is lost, the owner should promptly apply for a replacement from the traffic management department of the public security authority. The process is as follows: the vehicle owner must go to the traffic management department of the public security authority to apply, bringing original and photocopied proof of identity, the motor vehicle inspection record form, and the motor vehicle license and certificate application form for on-site processing. The vehicle must also be brought to the vehicle management office, and the owner must apply in person. The motor vehicle registration certificate is the legal proof of vehicle ownership, kept by the vehicle owner and not carried with the vehicle. This certificate is required for any subsequent vehicle registration procedures, such as transferring registration or ownership, and records the vehicle's relevant details, serving as the vehicle's 'household registration' document.
