According to the regulations on the application and use of motor vehicles, you can apply for a replacement motor vehicle driver's license at any vehicle management office or traffic management department of the public security authority nationwide. You can also apply for a replacement through software by downloading and installing the "Traffic Management 12123" app and completing the process online. Additional information: The required procedures for replacing a motor vehicle driver's license include: the motor vehicle driver's physical condition certificate, the driver's ID card, and four recent one-inch bareheaded photos of the driver. With these documents, you can apply for a replacement motor vehicle driver's license. It is recommended to apply for the replacement at a vehicle management office or traffic management department of the public security authority, where the process is immediate and will not affect the use of the license.
I just lost my driver's license last week, so I hurried to the local DMV to get a replacement. The whole process was quite simple—just bring your ID card and a recent photo, fill out an application form, and the staff checked it before processing it on the spot. If you don’t have a photo, they can take one for you there. The replacement fee wasn’t high, I remember it was just a few dozen yuan. I got my new license after waiting a few days. I’ve also heard that you can apply for a replacement through the 12123 mobile app, but I was too lazy to deal with the software. A reminder: if you lose your license, replace it promptly, otherwise, someone might misuse it if they find it. It’s best not to drive during the replacement period to avoid trouble if the police check. I used to drive often for deliveries, and losing the license felt awful, but now I’ve learned my lesson—I keep a photocopy at home as a backup.
