Can the annual inspection be done in another location?

Vehicles can undergo annual inspection in another location. The process is as follows: 1. Vehicle annual inspection authorization: First, you need to obtain a notice of authorized inspection from the vehicle management office where the vehicle was originally registered. There is no requirement for the owner to be present in person, so the owner can have someone else handle it at the original registration location. 2. Required materials: The owner's ID card, vehicle license, insurance documents, original and photocopy of the vehicle and vessel tax, and an application for out-of-town annual inspection. If someone else is handling it on behalf of the owner, a power of attorney from the owner is required. 3. Once the relevant vehicle inspection authorization information is verified, you can proceed with the normal out-of-town vehicle inspection.
Now vehicle annual inspections are handled nationwide. As long as it's a small vehicle, no matter where the license plate is from, you can get it done at any inspection station across the country. Remember to bring your vehicle license, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and ID card. It saves time to book a nearby inspection station in advance using the Traffic Management 12123 APP. Last month, I got my car with a hometown license plate inspected while on a business trip in Hangzhou, and the inspection fee was even the same as back home. However, if your car has unresolved violations or illegal modifications, it won't pass inspection anywhere, and this is the same nationwide. It's advisable to clear all violations three days in advance to avoid a wasted trip.
