Does the vehicle owner need to be present for the inspection?

It is not mandatory for the owner to be present. An authorized agent can handle the vehicle annual inspection by presenting the required agency certification documents and relevant vehicle materials. Article 54 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" stipulates: The owner of a motor vehicle may entrust an agent to apply for various motor vehicle registration and related services, except for applying for a replacement of the motor vehicle registration certificate. If the motor vehicle owner cannot be present to apply for a replacement of the registration certificate due to reasons such as death, overseas travel, serious illness, disability, or force majeure, an agent may apply on their behalf with relevant proof. When applying for motor vehicle registration and related services, the agent shall submit their identity proof and a written authorization from the motor vehicle owner.
