Do I need to display the 2021 motor vehicle inspection sticker?
1 Answers
In 2021, motor vehicle inspection stickers no longer need to be displayed. Since 2020, vehicles are not required to display any stickers. Starting from June 2020, China has implemented electronic inspection stickers nationwide. After passing the annual inspection, vehicle owners will not be issued paper inspection stickers. Instead, they can directly obtain the electronic inspection sticker through the 12123 traffic management app. 2021 Inspection Sticker New Regulations: The latest policy combines the vehicle annual inspection with the environmental protection inspection sticker. As long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, there is no need to obtain a separate environmental protection sticker. Penalties for Not Displaying Inspection Stickers: According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, driving a motor vehicle without displaying the inspection sticker will result in a fine and 1 penalty point. In serious cases, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the vehicle and notify the party to provide the corresponding license, sticker, or complete the required procedures. Note that for vehicle owners who have obtained the electronic inspection sticker, it has the same effect as the paper sticker. When stopped by traffic police, presenting the electronic inspection sticker is sufficient.
