Go to the vehicle inspection station at the vehicle management office to inspect the vehicle and pre-record information. The applicant must submit the following materials: "Road Freight Transport Business Application Form"; identity proof of the responsible person, identity proof of the handling agent, and power of attorney materials. The management personnel will review the materials submitted by the applicant; make a decision to approve or disapprove.
Last month, I just helped a friend obtain an operating license for his vehicle, and the process was actually quite straightforward. To apply for an operating license, you generally need to visit the local transportation management authority. Most cities have dedicated transportation administration service halls. In our case, it was handled at the traffic service window on the second floor of the government service hall. Remember to bring your ID card, vehicle license, original and photocopies of the vehicle registration certificate, as well as photos of the vehicle. The staff will check whether the vehicle is equipped with a positioning device and emergency equipment, and you’ll also need to fill out an application form on-site. The entire process took half a day, mainly due to waiting in line for a queue number, but the actual processing was quick. If your city supports online applications, you can also make an appointment through the government service website or transportation app to save time and effort.
