Vehicle inspection can be processed in another location. Documents required for annual inspection: The most important document for cross-regional vehicle inspection is the Letter of Entrustment for Cross-Regional Vehicle Inspection. When applying for cross-regional inspection, the first step is to obtain this Letter of Entrustment. Then, bring this document along with other relevant inspection materials to the local vehicle management office at the entrusted location to process the vehicle inspection. To obtain the Letter of Entrustment, you need to present the vehicle owner's ID card, vehicle license, insurance documents, original and copy of the vehicle and vessel tax payment receipt, and the cross-regional inspection application form to the vehicle management office at the registration location. Inspection precautions: Bring all potentially required documents and paperwork; don't forget to bring the warning triangle and fire extinguisher; if the vehicle has been modified or bears non-compliant decals, please clean them up before going for the annual inspection.

Vehicle inspection now supports cross-regional processing, which is quite convenient. This policy is mainly based on the unified regulations of the Ministry of Public Security, allowing nationwide vehicle annual inspections without returning to the registration location. From a vehicle management perspective, car owners only need to bring necessary documents, such as the original ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and valid compulsory traffic insurance policy, and go directly to the inspection station at the destination. It is advisable to make an online appointment in advance to avoid queues, especially during peak periods. Some cities may have faster facility updates and better adaptability, saving round-trip costs. However, note that not all inspection stations can handle special vehicle types, such as older vehicles or those with modification records, so additional verification is required. Therefore, it is safer to call the local station in advance. Overall, the process has been simplified, encouraging car owners to inspect their vehicles on arrival.

Last time when I was traveling out of town, my car happened to be due for its annual inspection, so I got it done at a local testing station. The process went smoothly. I brought my document folder containing copies of my ID card, the original vehicle license, and the insurance policy. The staff at the testing station were very professional, checking the vehicle's lights, emissions, and safety systems, and it took about an hour to complete. I recommend going on a weekday morning when it's less crowded, and downloading an app in advance to make an appointment to save time. In case of minor issues like a headlight not working, they can do simple adjustments on the spot. Getting it done out of town was really convenient and saved effort, perfect for car owners like me who travel frequently for work, so I didn’t have to make a special trip back to my hometown.

After years in this industry, I've found that the most crucial aspect for vehicle owners undergoing out-of-town inspections is to bring all necessary documents: ID card, vehicle license, and insurance proof. Missing any one can easily lead to rejection. Also, check basic items like whether the brake lights are working—otherwise, you'll have to fix them on-site, which delays the process. The procedure is generally the same; just choose a legitimate inspection station and remember to ask if they support cross-province systems—most places nowadays don't have issues with this.
