Go to the vehicle management office where the license was issued to make the change. Below is relevant information: 1. Relevant laws: Article 10 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" stipulates that registered motor vehicles must apply for change of registration at the local vehicle management office under the following circumstances: change of vehicle body color; engine replacement; replacement of the vehicle body or frame; or whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. 2. Required materials: Original and photocopy of the owner’s ID card (for non-local residents, original and photocopy of the temporary residence permit are required); proof of engine replacement; engine number imprint (for imported engines, provide the import customs declaration with the engine number imprint); vehicle information change application form; vehicle registration certificate and driver's license.

I just went through a driver's license address change last year by visiting the local DMV. I brought my ID card, original driver's license, and local residency proof (like a property deed or rental contract), then took a number at the DMV service hall to queue up. On-site, I filled out the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form' and waited for my turn at the counter. The whole process took twenty minutes and cost a ten-yuan fee. The staff were friendly and reminded me that the new license would be mailed to my new address within a week. Actually, the 12123 APP also allows online address change applications, but I preferred visiting in person for peace of mind. By the way, if you're relocating your household registration to a new city, remember to handle the household transfer first.

Recently changed my driver's license address using the Traffic Management 12123 app – done with just a few taps on my phone! After logging in, locate the driver's license services section, select 'Change Contact Information' to submit the application. Just upload photos of both sides of your ID card and proof of new address – no need to go out, super convenient. Approval takes about one or two days, and the new license is mailed directly to you with postage on delivery. Just make sure the phone number registered with your driver's license in the app can receive verification codes; if you've changed your number, you'll need to update your info at the DMV first. Of course, the DMV's offline service windows are always open for processing.

I took the opportunity of my annual vehicle inspection to update my driver's license address. After getting the vehicle inspection report in the morning, I went straight to the DMV counter next door in the afternoon. The required documents were just my ID card, driver's license, and a residence certificate issued by my residential property management. The staff asked me whether I wanted to pick it up on-site or have it mailed, and I chose mailing to save another trip. A reminder for everyone: having all documents ready saves a lot of time, unlike my colleague who forgot the residence certificate and had to make three trips. Also, it's best to avoid Mondays and month-ends when it's crowded.

Can a lost driver's license be used by others?

If a driver's license is lost, it could potentially be used by others for deducting points. However, legally, it is not permitted for someone to use a found driver's license to handle traffic violation points, as the license is strictly for the driver's personal use. If a lost license has been replaced with a new one, the lost license becomes invalid. Below are specific details about driver's licenses: Function: A driver's license is the legal document permitting a motor vehicle to be driven on the road, containing detailed information about the vehicle and its owner. Regulations: Drivers must operate a motor vehicle according to the vehicle type specified on their license and must carry both the driver's license and vehicle registration when driving. Driving without carrying a driver's license or vehicle registration will result in a 1-point deduction and temporary vehicle seizure until valid documents are provided.

How many people can a motorhome accommodate?

According to the standards of general small motorhomes, a motorhome can accommodate 4-6 people. However, if the length of the motorhome is less than 6 meters, the number of passengers must not exceed 6. Some motorhomes are also restricted to carrying no more than 5 people. The exact number of passengers allowed depends on the capacity indicated on the motorhome's certification. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Motorhomes are often referred to as 'homes on wheels,' combining the functions of both a house and a vehicle. However, their primary attribute remains that of a vehicle—a movable dwelling with home-like functionalities. Regulations: For trailer-type motorhomes, although they are not listed among the vehicle types prohibited from highways in the 'Road Traffic Regulations,' the 'Implementation Regulations of Road Traffic Safety Law' stipulate that 'small passenger cars are only allowed to tow travel trailers or trailers with a total mass of less than 700 kilograms, and trailers must not carry passengers.' Those that comply with this regulation are permitted on highways; otherwise, they are not allowed.
