Which department handles the loss of a vehicle license?

If a vehicle license is lost, you should apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued. The required materials for replacing a vehicle license include: 1. Vehicle registration business process record form; 2. Application form for vehicle license replacement or reissuance; 3. Vehicle registration certificate; 4. Original and copy of the owner's ID card; 5. Three vehicle photos; 6. For non-local residents, original and copy of the temporary residence permit are required. The vehicle license is one of the prerequisites for a vehicle to be driven on the road. Driving without a vehicle license is a violation of regulations. For insured motor vehicles, if an accident within the scope of insurance liability occurs, the policyholder can only claim insurance compensation by presenting a valid vehicle license.
Losing my vehicle license last time was really stressful, but I later found out that I had to go to the local DMV to get a replacement. Remember to bring the original ID card, a copy of it, and the vehicle registration certificate, and fill out the 'Application for Replacement of Motor Vehicle License and Certificate' on-site. The whole process takes about half an hour, and the staff will verify the vehicle information and the owner's identity. If you lose it in another city, don't panic—nowadays, it can be handled nationwide. The replacement fee is just a few dozen yuan for the processing cost. It's recommended to call ahead to confirm the DMV's working hours to avoid a wasted trip. It's best to get it replaced as soon as possible, otherwise, you might be fined if caught by traffic police.
