Vehicle inspection can be done in another city. More information about vehicle inspection in another city is as follows: 1. The most important document for vehicle inspection in another city is the Power of Attorney for Vehicle Inspection in Another City. When you need to have your vehicle inspected in another city, the first step is to obtain this Power of Attorney. Then, take the Power of Attorney along with the relevant inspection documents to the vehicle management office in the designated city to process the vehicle inspection. To apply for the Power of Attorney for Vehicle Inspection in Another City, you need to bring the vehicle owner's ID card, vehicle license, vehicle insurance documents, original and photocopy of the vehicle and vessel tax, and an application for cross-region inspection to the vehicle management office in the registration city. 2. For the vehicle inspection, you need to bring the vehicle license, vehicle insurance documents, and the Power of Attorney for Vehicle Inspection in Another City to the vehicle management office in the designated city. During the inspection process, it is important to note that the vehicle must not have any outstanding traffic violations, otherwise, the normal inspection cannot be conducted.
I often drive long distances, and my car is registered in my hometown, but last year I had it inspected directly in Guangzhou, which was really convenient. In the past, I had to go back to my hometown to get a power of attorney, but now the policy has changed, and you can get your car inspected anywhere in the country without a power of attorney. Just bring your vehicle license, ID card, and compulsory insurance policy. Check the location of the local inspection station online in advance and make an appointment to avoid long queues. During the inspection, make sure the lights and brakes are working properly, and any traffic violations must be dealt with beforehand. However, inspection standards may vary slightly from region to region. For example, the South has stricter requirements on exhaust emissions. I recommend doing a basic maintenance before the inspection to ensure it passes on the first try. It saves you the hassle of traveling back and forth, and you can save a month's salary.
Last year when I was on a business trip, my car happened to be due for its annual inspection, so I had it inspected out of town. Now the policy supports nationwide vehicle inspection, which is especially suitable for people who are often away from home. The process is similar to local inspection: directly find a testing station cooperating with the local DMV, submit the materials, inspect the car, and get the label. But there are some small details to pay attention to, such as checking in advance whether the testing station supports out-of-town vehicles, bringing the original vehicle license, and ensuring the compulsory traffic insurance is within the validity period. Before the inspection, it's best to check the tire tread depth and light brightness, as these are easy to fail. If you've modified the rims or lights, it's safer to restore the original factory configuration in advance. The whole process took about two hours, similar to the time it takes to have a meal.
