Can the vehicle inspection be done without the owner present?

It is not necessary for the owner to be present. An agent can handle the vehicle annual inspection by presenting the required proxy documentation and relevant vehicle materials. Here is more information about vehicle inspection: 1. Required materials: Vehicle, driving license, identity proof and its copy, insurance certificate, unified payment card, and the filled "Motor Vehicle Annual Inspection Application Form" (with official seal for company vehicles). 2. Inspection cycle: For vehicles older than 6 years, an annual on-site inspection is required, with the specific inspection date based on the registration date on the driving license. For vehicles older than 15 years, a semi-annual inspection is necessary to ensure compliance with regulations and guarantee driving safety.
Last year I was extremely busy with work and didn't have time to handle the annual vehicle inspection myself, so I entrusted a trusted friend to do it for me. It was actually quite simple - just needed to prepare copies of my ID card, vehicle license, and insurance policy for them to take to the inspection station. The whole process took less than half a day, saving me considerable time without needing to take leave or queue. There might be an additional service fee of a few dozen yuan, but it's absolutely worth the price. However, it's important to remind yourself to choose reliable individuals or formal agencies to avoid document misuse or mishandling. I recommend everyone try proxy services, especially when you can't spare time on weekdays - it can make your life much easier.
As a frequent driver, I think using an agency for annual vehicle inspection is a good option, but you shouldn't take it lightly. You can definitely have family members or professional service providers handle it, but you must provide all necessary materials, such as clear copies of the vehicle owner's ID and a power of attorney. I've used agency services twice myself, and it went smoothly, but remember to check the vehicle inspection report afterward to ensure no items were missed. The cost of agency services isn't high, but be careful not to choose unreliable ones just to save money, as this might lead to redoing the procedures. In short, the convenience of agency services is worth promoting, as long as you prepare the relevant documents in advance.
