Documents required for applying for a Beijing Entry Permit are as follows: 1. For vehicles applying for the first time, they must go to each Beijing entry inspection station or permit office to apply for a 7-day Beijing Entry Permit; 2. If the validity period expires and an extension is needed, within 3 days after using the valid Beijing Entry Permit for 5 days, they can go to the traffic branch or team to apply for a 5-day extension once; 3. For those who still need a Beijing Entry Permit after the 12-day period expires, they must go to the permit office to reapply for a 7-day Beijing Entry Permit. 4. After using the Beijing Entry Permit for 4 days, they can also go to any of the 25 Beijing entry inspection stations or permit offices in the city to reapply for a Beijing Entry Permit. The Beijing Entry Permit should be placed on the lower left side of the vehicle's front windshield. When applying for the Beijing Entry Permit for the first time, the following supporting documents must be submitted: 1. The driver's identity card and valid motor vehicle driving license; 2. The motor vehicle registration certificate; 3. Valid motor vehicle traffic accident liability compulsory insurance certificate; 4. Valid motor vehicle safety technical inspection qualification mark; 5. A certificate issued by the Beijing environmental protection authority confirming that the vehicle meets environmental protection requirements; 6. For vehicles transporting hazardous chemicals from other provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities, they must also submit the hazardous goods transport qualification certificate issued by the local road transport management authority.
I'm quite familiar with the Beijing Entry Permit process, having assisted many car owners with it. First, gather the original copies of your ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration. Make sure the compulsory traffic insurance policy is valid. Don't forget to take a white-background photo of the front of your car at a 45-degree angle, clearly showing the license plate and VIN. The most convenient way is to apply online via the Beijing Traffic Police App—fill in the owner and vehicle details, upload the required documents, and wait for approval. Alternatively, you can visit the inspection station counters for offline processing. Remember, the permit is valid for seven days, and you must apply before each entry into Beijing. For trucks, additional documents like the operation permit and environmental compliance certificate are required. If your vehicle fails emissions standards, get it fixed early to avoid rejection. It's advisable to apply 24 hours in advance and avoid peak hours for a smoother process.
