Can someone else perform vehicle inspection on Traffic Management 12123 if it's not the owner?

12123 does not allow non-owners to apply for the inspection exemption label; only the owner can process this. Below are the purposes of vehicle annual inspection and its exterior examination: Purposes of vehicle annual inspection: Vehicle annual inspection helps promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourages enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduces the occurrence of traffic accidents. Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory examination for every vehicle that has obtained official license plates and a vehicle registration certificate, equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." Exterior examination in vehicle annual inspection: Bring the exterior inspection form to the designated station, first verify relevant documents, and check whether the third-party insurance is still valid. Only after document verification can the exterior inspection begin. This inspection mainly checks for damaged lights, whether the vehicle's exterior conforms to its original state, any modifications to the suspension, as well as the sunroof, tires, etc.
I helped my father-in-law with this issue last time. First, you need to register a non-personal vehicle in the vehicle services section of the Traffic Management 12123 APP, upload photos of the owner's ID card and a power of attorney, and wait for approval before you can act as an agent. However, pay special attention to the type of agency service. For vehicle inspection, the 12123 app mainly handles the online application for the annual inspection sticker, but the actual vehicle inspection must be done in person by driving to the inspection station, or you can have an agent take the car there. After registration, you can find the agency entry by clicking on the Vehicle Inspection Appointment, but remember the system will verify the registration information against the vehicle license. If the information doesn't match, it will be a wasted trip, so it's important to check the vehicle owner's name in advance.
