4 Answers
Vehicle inspection can be done in another city. Here are the specific details for out-of-city vehicle inspection: 1. Documents: For inspection in another city, you need to bring your ID card, vehicle license, vehicle insurance documents, original and copy of the vehicle and vessel tax, and an application for out-of-city annual inspection to the vehicle management office at the registered location. 2. Inspection conditions: Inspection will not be approved if there are unresolved traffic violations or accidents, if the physical condition does not meet the driving license requirements, or if the required participation in learning, education, and exams has not been completed. Drivers holding other types of driving licenses who have been involved in accidents resulting in death with equal or greater responsibility and have not had their license revoked must participate in no less than three hours of study on road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency handling, and receive case-based education on traffic accidents during the inspection.
Yes, you can have your vehicle inspected in another city. The current policy allows nationwide vehicle inspections. I had my car inspected in another province two years ago while on a business trip, and it was quite convenient. Bring your original ID card and a copy, the vehicle license, and the compulsory insurance policy, then go directly to the local DMV or designated inspection station to queue. Booking an appointment online in advance can save you a lot of time. The inspection process takes about an hour, mainly checking safety items like lights and brakes. Some places require the compulsory insurance documents to be in paper form, so don’t forget to bring cash or a card for the fee, which is not expensive. Regular maintenance should pay attention to the condition of the tires and engine. Once inspected, you can drive with peace of mind on long trips without the hassle of returning to your hometown specifically for the inspection.
I've been driving for over a decade, and getting my car inspected in another city is completely doable. Last time when I was working in Shenzhen, my vehicle inspection was due so I just had it done locally. Prepare your documents: ID card and vehicle license are essential, some places may also require a copy of residence permit. First, get a number at the inspection station entrance—they'll check the exterior and emissions, making adjustments on-site if needed. The fee usually costs around a hundred yuan, but avoid small roadside stalls to prevent being overcharged by unscrupulous vendors. I recommend checking tire pressure and lights before the inspection to avoid multiple trips. Nowadays, you can even check the progress on your phone, and with the nationwide network system, it's much more convenient—no need to worry about the hassle of transferring household registration anymore.
Getting your vehicle inspected in another city is no problem, just go ahead with it. I brought my ID card and vehicle license, and the inspection station handled everything in one stop. The whole process, from registration to getting the results, takes about an hour, with costs around 100 yuan. Make sure to check the local policies in advance, as some cities require an appointment or an extra copy of the documents. After the inspection, remember to print the annual inspection sticker and put it on your car to avoid being checked on the road. This nationwide inspection policy is a great help for us mobile workers.
