Annual Inspection: DMV or Testing Station?
1 Answers
Annual inspection requires visiting both the DMV and a testing station. After the vehicle inspection at the testing station, you need to go to the DMV to get the annual inspection stamp. The DMV primarily handles driver's license applications, replacements, renewals, inspections, and other services related to vehicles and drivers, while the testing station focuses on comprehensive performance testing for motor vehicles. Annual inspection, also known as annual check-up, refers to the safety inspection conducted every year or every two years, covering a full range of checks including the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, etc. Before the annual inspection, you should check if there are any traffic violations on your vehicle. If there are, you must settle them before proceeding with the annual inspection, as unresolved violations will prevent you from completing the process.
