You can be absent from the annual vehicle inspection. Here is an introduction to the vehicle annual inspection: 1. The annual inspection can be entrusted to others, but you need to prepare the required materials, including: vehicle license, compulsory traffic insurance policy, ID card and its copy; 2. When entrusting others to handle it, you need the ID card and copy of the entrusting person. Here is additional information about the vehicle annual inspection: 1. Check whether the engine, chassis, and other auxiliary equipment are clean and effective, whether the vehicle's paint surface is uniform and beautiful, and whether important parts of the vehicle have been replaced; 2. Check the vehicle's braking performance, lights, exhaust, and safety performance to ensure they meet the technical requirements for safe operation of motor vehicles; 3. Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or altered, and verify that the vehicle license and license plate match the registration records.
To be honest, as a middle-aged driver with over a decade of experience, it's quite common not to attend the annual vehicle inspection in person. I often ask friends to handle it for me - just prepare documents like the vehicle license and insurance policy, then hand them to the agent for the inspection station. The process includes queuing for checks on lights, brakes, and emissions. Once passed, you'll get the new sticker. Some locations might require a power of attorney or proof of relationship - Beijing's DMV is particularly strict, so I recommend calling ahead. Overall it's quite convenient, especially when busy with work and can't take time off. Just make sure to service the car beforehand to avoid failures that would waste the agent's time. After delegation, remember to promptly affix the new sticker for legal road use and avoid fines.
