Do I Need to Print the Electronic Insurance Policy for Annual Inspection?

[JackLynn]

Generally, the electronic insurance policy for annual inspection needs to be printed, but the specific situation should be confirmed with the local vehicle management office where the inspection is conducted. This is because some regions still follow the traditional inspection procedures and require a printed copy of the insurance policy, while others have implemented a "vehicle insurance information sharing" system, where car owners do not need to provide a printed copy, as the staff can retrieve the vehicle's insurance information from the information platform. When going for the inspection, you can print the electronic version of the compulsory traffic insurance or obtain a printed original copy from the insurance company where the policy was purchased. As long as the insurance company has records, the inspection process can be completed. Below is additional information: According to the relevant provisions of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": Article 16: Motor vehicles shall undergo safety technical inspections according to the following periods from the date of registration: Passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within 5 years; after 5 years, once every 6 months; trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 10 years; after 10 years, once every 6 months; small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years; after 6 years, once a year; after 15 years, once every 6 months;
