What to Do When the Duplicate Page of the Vehicle License is Full?

During the next annual inspection, the inspection station will remind you to replace the duplicate page of the vehicle license, which essentially means replacing both the main page and the duplicate page together. They will also require taking and printing photos of the vehicle. For other aspects, you just need to follow the normal annual inspection procedures. After completing all the on-site annual inspections, you will receive a brand new vehicle license at the final endorsement window.
The other day I ran into this issue - during the annual vehicle inspection, the staff said the duplicate page of my vehicle license was fully stamped and couldn't be used anymore. I immediately took my original ID card, both the original and duplicate pages of the vehicle license to the local DMV. After taking a number, filling out an application form, paying a 50-yuan fee, and waiting about an hour, I got a new duplicate. The whole process went smoothly without any hiccups. My advice is to deal with it immediately when you notice it's full - don't wait until you're stopped by traffic police on the road and get penalized, which could also affect insurance claims. Usually, make more copies of the vehicle license for backup, and when keeping the original in the car, put a protective film on it to avoid it getting filled up too soon.
