Can vehicle inspection be conducted in a different location?
2 Answers
It depends on the type of vehicle. Private cars can generally undergo annual inspection in a different location, but some special vehicles cannot. The relevant introduction to annual inspection is as follows: Introduction 1: Annual review means the same as annual inspection, but it is more colloquial. Annual review refers to the annual or biennial safety inspection of a vehicle, including a comprehensive check of the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, etc. Introduction 2: Annual review refers to a routine inspection conducted on a yearly basis. Annual inspection usually refers to the inspection of certain formal IC cards, while annual review is more commonly used in daily life, such as the inspection of meal tickets, shopping membership cards, etc., which is usually referred to as "annual review."
Actually, I'm quite qualified to speak on this matter, as I just went through an out-of-town vehicle inspection in Hangzhou last year. As long as your vehicle is a blue-plate passenger car, nationwide inspection has been available for a long time—no need to return to the registration location. Just remember to bring your vehicle license, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the original ID of the owner, then find a local authorized inspection station. Last time in Hangzhou, my emissions and lighting checks were completed in just half an hour, and the system automatically synchronized the results with the vehicle management office in my hometown. However, pay attention to local emission standard enforcement—for example, my colleague’s National IV diesel car got stuck in Hainan. Before an out-of-town inspection, it’s best to check your vehicle’s status first; don’t go with outstanding traffic violations, or you’ll waste a trip.
