Can vehicle inspection be done in another location?

Vehicle inspection can be done in another location. Below is an introduction to relevant annual inspection information: 1. Time limit: No fine will be imposed for one day overdue. Vehicles exceeding the annual inspection period by less than one year can apply for supplementary inspection procedures at the vehicle management department without facing penalties. However, if exceeding the inspection period by more than one year, the penalty will be 3 points deduction and a fine, with possible vehicle impoundment. 2. Penalties: For motor vehicles driving on roads without displaying inspection qualification marks, the penalties include vehicle detention, 1 point deduction, and a fine. Failure to purchase compulsory traffic insurance will result in a fine of twice the insurance amount.
Last year, while working in Shenzhen, my car was registered in Guangzhou, and getting the annual inspection done at the local testing station was super convenient! Just bring the original vehicle license, ID card, and a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the on-site appointment takes only a few minutes. The inspection process takes about half an hour, and the data is automatically uploaded to the system—no need to travel back to my hometown. My friend in Chengdu also tried it and had the same smooth experience. Now that the system is nationwide, it works across provinces too. The cost is the same as local inspections, saving hundreds in fuel and time. I recommend booking an appointment via the mobile app in advance and going on weekdays when it's less crowded. Overall, the policy feels very user-friendly, supporting out-of-town inspections and avoiding a lot of hassle.
