Can the vehicle inspection insurance policy be in electronic form?
2 Answers
Yes. Electronic insurance policies can be used for vehicle inspection: For first-tier cities, electronic policies have been fully implemented. When a compulsory traffic insurance policy is required for vehicle inspection, you can log in to the insurance company's official website via mobile SMS to view and download the electronic insurance policy. Currently, renewed compulsory traffic insurance policies are in electronic form, and you need to print the electronic version for vehicle inspection. Additional information: 1. If it is a paper policy, you need to bring the original copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy to the vehicle management office to complete the annual inspection procedures. 2. In regions where electronic policies are implemented, you can bring the electronic version of the policy, either printed or just provide the electronic policy number, as the system can also query it.
As a city driver, I find using digital versions of vehicle inspection insurance policies much more convenient. Last time I went for my annual vehicle inspection, I forgot to bring the paper policy and was sweating bullets. The staff informed me that many places now accept digital versions, so I pulled out my phone, opened the insurance app, showed a screenshot of the policy, and passed without a hitch. This not only saves the hassle of printing and storing paper copies but also allows real-time updates to policy information. If you switch insurance companies, you can instantly refresh the screenshot. In cities, digital policies have become the norm. For daily commuters like me, keeping a PDF file on the phone and checking it before inspection is all you need. However, it’s wise to test the network signal beforehand—rural areas might have weaker signals, so saving an offline copy is safer. Overall, digitization speeds up the inspection process, reduces paper waste, and aligns with eco-friendly initiatives. Once you get used to it, you won’t want to go back to paper.
