Do I still need to display the vehicle inspection sticker in 2021?

In 2021, vehicles no longer require any physical stickers to be displayed. Digitalization of annual inspection stickers: Since June 2020, China has implemented the digitalization of annual vehicle inspection stickers. Now when vehicle owners complete their annual inspection, they won't receive a paper inspection sticker. Instead, they can directly obtain the electronic inspection sticker through the 12123 traffic management app. 2021 new regulations for inspection stickers: The latest policy combines the vehicle annual inspection and environmental protection inspection stickers into one. As long as the vehicle passes the inspection, there's no need to obtain a separate environmental protection sticker. The electronic inspection certificate has the same legal effect as the paper version. Vehicles that have obtained the electronic inspection certificate don't need to display paper stickers anymore. Traffic police will check the vehicle's inspection status through law enforcement terminals during roadside checks.
