Where to Apply for a Replacement Motor Vehicle Driving License?
2 Answers
You need to go to the local Vehicle Management Office to apply for a replacement. To replace a motor vehicle driving license, you will need the following: the identity proof of the motor vehicle driver, a written statement of the lost driving license. The replacement driving license can be issued within one working day. During the period when the driving license is lost, driving a motor vehicle is not allowed. Below is an introduction to the materials required for replacing a motor vehicle driving license: 1. "Motor Vehicle Registration Business Process Record Form." 2. "Motor Vehicle Registration/Transfer Registration Form." 3. "Application Form for Replacement or Reissuance of Motor Vehicle License Plates." 4. "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate" (not required if not previously issued). 5. Copy of the owner's identity proof (for company vehicles, this refers to the business license and organization code certificate; for private vehicles, this refers to the ID card, with the original to be verified at the verification window). 6. Three vehicle photos; power of attorney, and the identity proof of the authorized person.
When it comes to replacing a lost driver's license, I must say it's best to go to the local DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). I recently lost my license and rushed to the DMV, and everything went super smoothly. Nowadays, online appointments are supported. I booked a time in advance through the Traffic Management 12123 APP on Alipay, brought my original ID card and two one-inch photos, and that was it. On-site, I filled out a simple form, the staff verified my information, and I got a temporary license in just fifteen minutes. The official one was mailed to my home within about seven days. The cost was only twenty yuan, just the processing fee. Remember to replace it promptly, otherwise, if you're caught driving without a license by traffic police, the points and fines are minor issues, but safety concerns are serious. The DMV has multiple branches, so choose one close to home to save time and be efficient—don't wait until it's urgent and cause problems. Additionally, DMVs in big cities also offer self-service kiosks for even faster processing.
