Can I Get My Vehicle Inspected in Another City?
2 Answers
You can get your vehicle inspected in another city. The applicant can directly go to provinces other than the vehicle registration location for inspection. Documents required for inspection in another city: You need to bring the necessary documents for vehicle inspection to the vehicle management office where the license plate was issued to obtain an entrustment certificate for annual inspection. This certificate authorizes the vehicle management office in your current place of residence to conduct the inspection. Private vehicles require the owner's signature and a copy of the owner's ID card. Scope of annual inspection: Annual inspection refers to the safety inspection of the vehicle conducted every year or every two years, including a comprehensive check of the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, etc.
You can definitely get your car inspected in another city, and I can tell you from personal experience. Last year, while on a business trip in Beijing, my car's annual inspection was due. I simply found a local inspection station and got it done, saving the fuel cost and effort of traveling back to my hometown. The current policy supports cross-region vehicle inspections, which is applicable nationwide. Just bring your ID card, vehicle license, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. I usually use the Traffic Management 12123 APP to make an appointment in advance, which helps me get through the queue faster at the inspection station—it only took half an hour to finish. The only thing to watch out for is any outstanding traffic violations, as unresolved records can hold up the inspection. Overall, it's very convenient, especially for busy professionals who don't need to take special leave to travel. This policy is really considerate, reducing stress for car owners and letting them drive with more peace of mind.
