Why is there no file number on the vehicle license?
2 Answers
The file number on the motor vehicle license has been canceled, so there is no file number on the vehicle license. The motor vehicle registration certificate number is the proof of the vehicle's record in the traffic police department's vehicle management office. The vehicle's data information should be reflected in the motor vehicle registration certificate. Currently, the file number on the vehicle license has been canceled, and the license plate number is used as the query number. The following is an introduction to the vehicle license: 1. The role of the vehicle license: The vehicle license is a legal document that allows motor vehicles to drive on roads within China. It consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the auxiliary page. It is issued by the vehicle management center and is used to verify the authenticity of vehicle information. 2. Information on the vehicle license: The vehicle license records many important details, including the license plate number, owner's name, model type, engine number and chassis number, load capacity or passenger capacity, initial registration date, and annual inspection records, etc.
Having driven for decades, I've encountered all sorts of license issues. Missing file numbers could stem from simplified designs in older systems or be signs of counterfeit documents. Around 2010, some regions might not have had unified numbering before implementing new regulations, simply registering with vehicle information. Nowadays, it's a standard requirement. If your license lacks one, don't take it lightly—contact the DMV immediately. Possible reasons include printing errors during production or forgery, the latter being far more dangerous, potentially leading to fines or vehicle impoundment. I personally double-check every time I renew my license; developing good habits saves headaches. Community forums often share similar experiences—exchanging information can prevent problems. Never drive a questionable vehicle to avoid trouble. Safe driving means no detail is too small to overlook.
