Can the annual inspection be handled by oneself or can it be entrusted to an agent?

It can be handled by oneself or entrusted to an agent. Handling it oneself: It is generally better for the vehicle owner to personally handle the annual inspection of the vehicle, as it is their own vehicle and will be driven. If any safety hazards are detected during the inspection, the owner can immediately know the situation. If the vehicle is a new car within 6 years, the owner can apply for the annual inspection label online through the vehicle management office without needing an offline inspection. Entrusting to an agent: Entrusting an agent to handle the annual inspection is also a trustworthy option. Many 4S shops or repair shops offer this service, usually through intermediaries rather than their own employees. To entrust an agent, the owner needs to provide the vehicle, ID card, driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, and vehicle license to the agent and sign a power of attorney authorizing them to handle the annual inspection. Since this involves sharing personal information, it is important to find a reliable agent to avoid information leaks. Before handing over the vehicle to an agent, the owner must ensure all traffic violations related to the vehicle are settled, as unresolved violations will prevent the inspection from passing. Additionally, a fire extinguisher and a yellow warning triangle must be prepared and placed in the trunk. It is advisable to start the annual inspection process one or two months in advance to avoid expiration, as overdue inspections may result in a fine of 300 yuan and a deduction of 3 points from the driver's license.
