Can Vehicle Inspection Be Conducted During the National Day Holiday?
2 Answers
Vehicle inspection cannot be conducted during the National Day holiday, and no procedures can be processed during the holiday period. Documents Required for Vehicle Inspection at the DMV: Original and copy of vehicle tax, ID card of the vehicle owner or agent, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle insurance documents, and an out-of-town inspection application (if applicable). Regulations on Vehicle Inspection Time: The vehicle inspection time is determined based on the initial registration date of the new vehicle. For example, if the registration date on the vehicle's driving license is June 2015, then the vehicle inspection time is every June. According to the newly revised "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" Article 40, the vehicle owner can apply for the inspection compliance mark at the local vehicle management office within three months before the expiration of the vehicle inspection validity period. This means that vehicles scheduled for inspection in June can undergo the inspection in April, May, or June.
I also wanted to get my vehicle inspected during the National Day holiday last year, but several DMV offices were closed. The staff said they were on regular holiday break during the festival and couldn't process any services. Now I understand—National Day is a peak travel period, everyone's busy traveling, and government agencies traditionally take a seven-day holiday. If your inspection is about to expire, you can go a month early or handle it immediately after the holiday. Don’t delay the annual inspection—driving without it poses risks, and insurance might deny claims in case of an accident. Also, some places might have self-service inspection stations or online booking, but efficiency is low during holidays. I recommend car owners take advantage of the pre-holiday period to get their vehicles ready for a worry-free trip.
