ID Copy: A photocopy of the ID card is required, with both sides copied onto a single sheet of paper. 4. Household Register Copy: For non-local residents, a residence permit is also required.
From years of driving experience, I can tell you that if the seals are not maintained, especially the annual inspection seal, obtaining the certificate will indeed be affected. During vehicle inspections, seals are like health certificates—if not strictly managed, you'll have to undergo re-inspection, wasting time for nothing. I learned this the hard way; once I was too busy to maintain it and when applying for a new certificate, I was told the materials were incomplete and had to restart the process. What’s worse, delays could lead to fines or refusal to issue the certificate, affecting daily driving. So it’s best to regularly check and maintain records, especially before each seasonal change, and get it done at a reliable repair shop to avoid sudden issues. Simply put, seals are the key to obtaining the certificate—not maintaining them is like trying to unlock a door without a key, hitting obstacles everywhere.
Friend, I totally understand this issue. Last year when I was in a hurry to get my new license, I realized the seal hadn't been updated on time and was directly rejected by the DMV. The reason is simple: maintaining the seal proves the vehicle's safe condition, missing this step will freeze the system. Afterwards, it took me a whole week to reapply and pay fines, which was super annoying. My advice is to set phone reminders for annual maintenance once or twice a year. Don't be like us careless people who cram at the last minute only to spend more money and get frustrated. Safety comes first - with good vehicle condition, you'll feel more secure on the road.
As a car enthusiast, let me talk about the technical aspect. The maintenance seal is essentially a vehicle status record. Without it, the certification process gets hindered. Authorities rely on the seal to verify compliance with standards. Lack of maintenance means failing to meet requirements, naturally delaying certification. In practice, this may lead to annual inspection failure or stricter checks. Addressing it early saves trouble and ensures safety.
