Do I Need to Go to the DMV for a Biannual Vehicle Inspection?

[DiMackenzie]

For vehicles that meet the exemption requirements, new cars do not need to undergo an on-site inspection at the DMV every two years. Instead, you can simply apply for the inspection compliance mark on the Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform or the Traffic Management 12123 App. Once approved, you can view the electronic inspection mark certificate at any time to check the vehicle’s annual inspection status, eliminating the need to display a paper inspection mark. Non-commercial small and micro passenger vehicles (with no more than 9 seats) enjoy a 6-year exemption from on-site inspections. Therefore, within the first 6 years of a new car, you only need to apply for the inspection compliance mark every 2 years. Note that the following situations are not eligible for the exemption: minivans, vehicles illegally modified and penalized by law, vehicles involved in accidents causing injuries or fatalities, and vehicles that have not been registered for over 4 years since the date of manufacture. Method to apply for the inspection compliance mark for a new car every two years: Open the Traffic Management 12123 App, click "More," and select "Apply for Inspection Compliance Mark for Exempt Vehicles." Note that any outstanding traffic violations must be resolved before applying. Click "Continue," confirm the information, and proceed to the next step. Upload photos of the compulsory traffic insurance certificate and vehicle tax, then enter the verification code and submit. Once the application is successfully submitted, click "View Progress" to check the online processing status in real-time.
