Vehicles can be inspected in a different location. You need to bring the owner's ID card, vehicle license, vehicle insurance documents, original and photocopy of the vehicle and vessel tax, and an application for out-of-town inspection to the vehicle management office at the registered location. Below are the steps and required documents for out-of-town inspection: 1. Before applying: The owner of the vehicle must settle all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. 2. Registration: The owner needs to go to the vehicle management office at the vehicle's registration location to obtain a vehicle inspection delegation notice, authorizing the vehicle management office in the different location to conduct the inspection. To process the vehicle inspection delegation notice, you need to bring the processor's ID card, the original vehicle license, and a photocopy. 3. On-site inspection: After completing the delegation procedures for vehicle inspection, the owner should drive the vehicle to the designated inspection hall at the local vehicle management office for on-site inspection. 4. After passing the inspection: With the vehicle inspection report, go to the service window of the local vehicle management office to print the inspection pass mark.

Nowadays, it's completely feasible to conduct annual vehicle inspections in a different location. Since 2018, a unified policy has been implemented nationwide, allowing you to easily handle the annual inspection for your vehicle no matter where it was purchased. I've seen many friends getting this done in other cities—the process is quite simple. Just bring your ID card, vehicle license, and compulsory traffic insurance policy to a nearby inspection station, saving you the hassle of returning to your hometown and making it both time-saving and convenient. However, remember to book an inspection slot in advance to avoid long queues. Some places may charge a small inspection fee (usually a few dozen yuan), depending on local regulations. If your vehicle fails the inspection, you can have it repaired or rechecked on the spot. Once it passes, just affix the inspection sticker. This policy reform makes car ownership more flexible, eliminating the need to travel far and wide just for annual inspections.

When I worked in another city, I got my car inspected locally, and the whole process went smoothly. I remember bringing all the required documents to the inspection station that day. The staff checked my information, conducted an exterior and lighting inspection, and it was done in less than half an hour. The cost was just over a hundred yuan, similar to my hometown. The key was not having to take time off to travel back, saving both fuel costs and energy. The only thing to note is choosing a reliable inspection station—some remote locations might have poorer equipment, so checking reviews in advance can give peace of mind. Overall, it felt quite user-friendly. Getting an out-of-town inspection is not only legal but also adds convenience to life.

Out-of-town vehicle inspection is no problem. Just bring the owner's ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance certificate to any inspection station as required. The process involves booking an appointment for inspection, paying fees, passing the inspection, and obtaining the compliance label. The whole procedure takes less than half an hour, so don't worry about complicated formalities. Remember to confirm all materials are complete in advance to avoid delays from reapplying.
