Does the vehicle inspection due in September include September?
2 Answers
Yes, it includes September. Currently, the inspection is valid for one month. The vehicle registration certificate only shows the month, not the specific date, so as long as it does not exceed September, it is acceptable. Below is relevant information about vehicle inspection: Introduction to vehicle inspection: Vehicle inspection is a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It involves an annual inspection based on the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." Purpose of vehicle inspection: Vehicle inspection helps promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourages better vehicle maintenance, and reduces the occurrence of traffic accidents. Timing of vehicle inspection: Vehicles can undergo inspection applications up to three months before the annual inspection date. It is best to do it two months or more in advance.
Last time I went for the vehicle inspection, I specifically asked the staff. The expiration month for the inspection includes the entire month of September. That means you can go for the inspection anytime from September 1st to 30th without it being considered overdue, but you must complete it before the end of the month. Definitely don’t delay until October 1st, otherwise it will count as overdue and you’ll be fined. I suggest you go by the end of August to avoid the peak period at month-end. Remember to bring your vehicle license and compulsory traffic insurance policy. Some inspection stations are quite strict about vehicle modifications, so if you’ve modified things like headlights, it’s best to restore them to their original condition beforehand. Before the inspection, remember to check your brakes and lights to avoid a wasted trip.
