Do I need to go to the DMV for a 2-year vehicle inspection?
2 Answers
Vehicles that meet the exemption requirements do not need to undergo an on-site inspection at the DMV every two years. Below are the specific details about vehicle inspection exemptions: Required documents: The vehicle owner must personally bring the vehicle's registration certificate (both original and copy), the owner's ID card, the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate, among other relevant documents. Exemption regulations: Vehicle inspection exemption refers to vehicles that meet the exemption criteria within 6 years, exempting them from the on-site inspection process. Owners only need to apply for an inspection label every two years and affix it to the vehicle as required. Essentially, this means the on-site inspection is waived. As long as the vehicle meets the national policy requirements, owners can directly apply for the inspection label from the traffic management department without undergoing an on-site inspection.
Now, the annual inspection for new cars within six years is very convenient. I just completed the two-year inspection. There's no need to drive to the vehicle management office and queue up. Simply open the Traffic Management 12123 APP on your phone, find the 'Apply for Inspection Exemption Mark' in the service center, and upload the compulsory traffic insurance certificate and vehicle and vessel tax photos as prompted. After the system approves, the electronic inspection mark is directly sent to your phone, which is very hassle-free. However, make sure the compulsory traffic insurance is valid and the vehicle and vessel tax is paid in full. Last time, I almost forgot to pay the vehicle and vessel tax, but fortunately, the system verifies the information in real time. If you're not familiar with the APP, the local postal outlet can also handle it for you, saving you two hours compared to going to the vehicle management office.
