Does the vehicle license have an expiration period?
2 Answers
The vehicle license is valid for the long term, but it still requires annual inspection. Here is an introduction to the relevant content: 1. Annual inspection expiration: The supplementary page indicates the inspection validity period, which is essentially the annual inspection due date. 2. Different validity periods: The validity period of the vehicle license is also linked to the annual inspection. Different types of vehicles have different validity periods. Below is extended information on how to handle an expired vehicle license inspection validity period: 1. Conditions: Vehicle owners with an expired license should promptly drive their vehicle and bring the original vehicle license and the original compulsory motor vehicle traffic accident liability insurance certificate (valid for more than 15 days) to the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to complete the annual inspection. 2. Notes: The vehicle license does not actually have a fixed expiration period because each time it passes an annual inspection, the validity period on the license changes. Therefore, an expired vehicle license essentially refers to an expired vehicle inspection.
I remember when I first bought the car, the salesperson told me that although the vehicle license doesn’t have a fixed expiration date, it is closely tied to the annual vehicle inspection, which serves as a validity reminder. Each time the inspection is passed, the license will be stamped or the validity period will be updated. If you go more than a year without an inspection, the document may become invalid, and driving without it could result in fines or penalty points if checked by the police. I usually set a reminder in my phone calendar a week in advance each year to prepare the necessary documents, such as my ID and insurance policy, so I don’t forget. Neglecting this isn’t just inconvenient—it could also void your insurance, meaning the insurer might not cover costs in case of an accident. As a car owner, I always treat this as a top priority to ensure the vehicle remains safe and roadworthy.
