Can I get my car inspected during National Day?

Generally, car inspections are not available during National Day. Inspection time: Under normal circumstances, most places do not conduct vehicle annual inspections during National Day. However, some regions may offer inspection services during the holiday to accommodate working professionals. It's best to check with the local vehicle management office for specific arrangements. You'll need to visit the local vehicle management office and the vehicle inspection center for both physical and online inspections. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, official business is usually suspended. If your vehicle inspection is due soon, it's recommended to plan ahead. Vehicle management offices typically follow the national holiday schedule. Documents required for vehicle inspection: The necessary materials include the vehicle owner's ID card and vehicle license. For company-owned vehicles, additional documents are required, including the original vehicle license, copy of compulsory traffic insurance, Organization Code Certificate of the People's Republic of China (with fresh seal), power of attorney (with fresh seal), and a copy of the agent's ID card.
I think getting a vehicle inspection during the National Day holiday is quite risky. Last year, I tried going to the local DMV on the third day of the holiday for the annual inspection, only to find the door closed with a notice saying they were closed during the holiday. This made me realize that most holidays are official rest days, and inspection stations are either closed or offer limited services. If you plan to do your vehicle inspection during the National Day holiday, it's best to check the local DMV's website or official notices one or two weeks in advance to see if there are any special arrangements. Some cities might have one or two days of duty service, but the chances are slim. I recommend completing the inspection before the holiday to avoid last-minute rushes. If you miss the deadline and get pulled over for a random check, it could be a hassle. With more cars on the road during the holiday, safety should always come first.
From my experience, getting a vehicle inspected during the National Day holiday is really not easy. I've helped a friend with this before. During holidays, the DMV and inspection stations are basically closed, with staff on leave. The only option is to find smaller inspection centers that remain open, but they charge extra fees. I recommend keeping an eye on DMV information during normal times, such as through WeChat mini-programs or official website announcements, as they release holiday schedules in advance. If you're in a hurry to get your vehicle inspected, it's safest to book an appointment before the holiday. Don't wait until the last minute—long queues and potential rejection are likely. Safe driving is crucial, and the fines for delayed annual inspections are not worth the risk.
