Which DMV to Go to for License Plate Replacement?
2 Answers
License plate replacement should be processed at the DMV where the vehicle was originally registered. Below are specific details about license plates: 1. Definition: A license plate, commonly known as a vehicle plate, refers to the plates displayed on the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. 2. Temporary License Plates: Temporary license plates are issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau when a vehicle has not yet been officially registered due to pending procedures. The use of temporary plates is subject to time and regional restrictions.
Last time my license plate fell off and I went to get a replacement, I went directly to the DMV where my vehicle was registered, because the license plate is tied to the registration location. Just bring your ID card and the original vehicle registration certificate, fill out an application form on-site, and you can usually get a temporary plate the same day. Remember not to go to the wrong place—it can't be just any DMV; you have to go to the local vehicle registration authority. Some places have branch offices, so prioritize the one closest to you or with faster service. I suggest you check the address and business hours in advance to avoid a wasted trip. Also, license plates can easily become loose, so adding anti-theft screws can prevent losing them again. These little tips can save you a lot of hassle.
