Vehicle annual inspection validity period until August includes the entire month. Annual inspection document preparation: Drivers need to prepare the original ID card, original vehicle license and their respective copies, as well as the original insurance policy and vehicle and vessel tax certificate. Annual inspection self-check: Check online to see if there are any traffic violation records. If there are any unprocessed traffic violation records, they need to be dealt with first. Annual inspection filing: The driver should bring the annual inspection form, vehicle license, vehicle inspection result form, and vehicle inspection certificate to the vehicle management office in the jurisdiction where the vehicle is registered for filing. Typically, the entire vehicle license inspection process takes about three hours.
I remember last year my car's annual inspection also had an August deadline. I specifically went to the DMV window to confirm, and the staff said the validity period includes the entire month of August, meaning as long as it's completed by August 31st, it's considered on time. However, they recommended doing it at least two weeks in advance. When I went to the inspection station on August 20th, I waited in line for two hours, while a colleague who went at the end of the month was directly told that the schedule was fully booked. Here's a little tip: remember to check for any traffic violations before the annual inspection. Last time, the guy in front of me in line had to leave empty-handed because he hadn't dealt with his violations. Checking items like vehicle lights and brakes yourself in advance can save a lot of time.
