Can I get my car inspected without an insurance policy?

If the compulsory insurance policy is still valid, the vehicle inspection can proceed normally. However, if there is no compulsory insurance policy, the inspection cannot be conducted. Relevant information about compulsory traffic insurance is as follows: Introduction: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is 'Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Liability Compulsory Insurance.' It is a mandatory liability insurance provided by insurance companies to compensate victims (excluding passengers and the insured) for personal injury, death, or property damage caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. Necessity: Compulsory traffic insurance ensures that victims of motor vehicle traffic accidents receive compensation and promotes road traffic safety. It provides timely and basic protection for traffic accident victims.
I've been driving for over a decade and have encountered similar situations. Normally, you can't pass the vehicle inspection without an insurance policy because inspection stations require proof of insurance—it's the law to ensure vehicles are legally and safely driven on the road. If you forget to bring or lose your insurance policy, you can first contact your insurance company to print an electronic copy or request a replacement paper version. I recommend keeping a backup copy of your insurance policy in your car's storage compartment. Before heading to the inspection, double-check that all your documents are complete to avoid what happened to me once—I was in a hurry and forgot to bring it, ended up wasting a trip and had to reschedule, which was a hassle. Vehicle inspections are crucial for safety, and the insurance policy proves you've paid your premiums, protecting yourself and others in case of an accident. Pay attention to these details during regular car maintenance to avoid last-minute chaos.
As a novice driver, my friend was denied an inspection last month for not bringing the insurance policy, which taught me a lesson. The inspection center has strict management, and the insurance policy is one of the mandatory documents. Without it, it indicates your car may lack insurance coverage. Although in emergencies, you might try asking the inspection staff to verify the insurance status by phone, the success rate is low. I also reminded him to organize all documents in advance and keep them in his wallet. Over time, drivers tend to overlook these small details, but insurance is crucial for liability in case of accidents. Handling insurance issues early ensures a smooth inspection process, so don’t delay the annual inspection and affect your ability to drive.
Having worked at a vehicle inspection station for a while, I've never encountered a case where a vehicle passed without an insurance policy, as the rules mandate verification of legal roadworthiness credentials. The insurance policy proves you have vehicle coverage, and without it, we cannot issue an inspection certificate. If the owner genuinely can't locate the document, I recommend immediately contacting the insurer to email an electronic copy for printing or visiting a service point to obtain a replacement before returning for inspection. Safety comes first—driving uninsured risks far graver consequences in case of an accident.
