Do I still need to go to the DMV after applying for the six-year exemption inspection online?

No need to go to the vehicle management office for processing. For motor vehicles exempt from on-site inspection, after applying for the exemption through the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123", they can be used directly. Motor vehicles exempt from on-site inspection for six years need to complete the procedures in the second and fourth years of use. Specific details are as follows: Notes for inspection after six years: An on-site inspection is required in the sixth year of vehicle use. The on-site inspection must be processed at the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority, and it can be done at a location other than the non-motor vehicle registration place. When processing, the vehicle's registration certificate and the owner's ID card must be carried.
I just finished handling this matter. The car I bought last year just reached its sixth year last month, so I directly applied for the exemption from inspection online through the traffic management APP. As long as there are no traffic violations and the information is verified correctly, the system will approve it and issue an electronic exemption mark. No need to make a trip to the vehicle management office—super convenient and time-saving. You don’t even need to print it; just display it on your phone. Thinking back to the old days when you had to queue up and submit materials, it was such a hassle. Now the process is simplified. I recommend car owners regularly check their violation records to ensure a smooth application, as the system might occasionally glitch or delay. After it’s done, don’t slack off on regular car maintenance—stay vigilant.
