Can a B2 driver's license be inspected in another location?
2 Answers
B2 driver's license inspection should be conducted at the vehicle management office where the license was issued. However, motor vehicle drivers engaged in commercial operations in another location can directly participate in the inspection at the operation location after registering with the local vehicle management office for one year. Drivers holding licenses for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks must undergo inspection at the traffic management department of the public security authority within 30 days after each scoring cycle ends. But if there is no scoring record during a scoring cycle, the inspection for that cycle is exempted. B2 driver's license inspection procedures: If there is no time to go to the vehicle management office for the annual inspection, the inspection time can be postponed, but not more than one year (no penalty will be imposed if the inspection is not conducted within one year). The required documents for the license inspection include the original copy of the driver's license, ID card, and the motor vehicle driver's physical condition certificate. Relevant departments will distribute test papers to answer a few questions. Driver's license inspection time: Drivers holding licenses for vehicle types A, B, N, and P, drivers holding vehicle type C licenses engaged in commercial transportation, and drivers over 60 years old must undergo annual inspection once a year. For drivers holding other vehicle type licenses, the inspection frequency has been changed from once every two years to once a year, and the inspection can be exempted if there is no penalty point during the cycle. The inspection deadline is based on the inspection validity period indicated on the "Driver's License Copy". Drivers who fail to undergo the inspection on time will be subject to fines.
From my friend who has been driving trucks for many years, I heard that the annual inspection for a B2 driver's license can be done in a different location, as the national policy now uniformly supports it. Last year, I handled my own annual inspection while on a business trip, saving a lot of time. The process is straightforward: bring the original and a copy of your ID card, recent photos, and a medical examination report, then go directly to the local vehicle management office. Their system is nationwide, so verification is quick. However, minor details may vary by location—some places might require a temporary residence permit or online appointment. I recommend checking the local requirements in advance using the Traffic 12123 App. This convenience is quite satisfying, especially for those working or traveling away from home, as it avoids the hassle of making trips back to their hometown. Remember, regular health checks and ensuring safe driving are key.
