Does window tinting require registration on the vehicle license?

If the modification involves changing the vehicle body color or applying stickers that exceed 30% of the total surface area, it is necessary to register the color change at the vehicle management office within ten days after the modification. Below is an introduction about vehicle modifications: 1. Introduction to vehicle modifications: This refers to replacing, adding, or removing parts of the original factory model or altering its appearance. Reasonable and scientific vehicle modifications can enhance the safety and performance of the original vehicle. Vehicle modifications serve both as an expression of personal style and a means to improve driving performance and safety. 2. Relevant regulations on vehicle modifications: Laws and regulations impose restrictions on vehicle modifications. The vehicle model, engine model, and frame number cannot be altered, and the vehicle body structure must not be compromised. If the vehicle color is changed, or the engine, body, or frame is replaced, the vehicle must be inspected. Additionally, a motor vehicle safety technical inspection certificate must be submitted for engine, body, or frame replacements. The area of stickers must not exceed 30% of the total vehicle body area; if it does, approval from the relevant authorities is required.

I previously had window tinting installed and chose a dark shade for sun protection and privacy. However, during the annual vehicle inspection, the traffic management office said the light transmittance didn't meet standards and made me remove and reapply it. They explained that regular window tinting doesn't require special registration on the vehicle license—that's only for initial vehicle registration. Daily tinting isn't considered a major modification. The key is compliance with safety standards: in China, the windshield must have at least 70% light transmittance, and side windows at least 50%. Otherwise, you'll fail the inspection and might get fined by traffic police. So, I advise everyone to check product specs before tinting, choose reputable shops, and prioritize safety over looks or low cost to avoid hassle and extra expenses later.

I've seen plenty about window tinting, and customers often ask about registration. Actually, regular window films don't require going to the DMV to update the vehicle registration—that's mainly for body color changes or structural modifications. However, the light transmittance must meet standards, with at least 70% for the windshield being the baseline. Lower transmittance can easily lead to accidents, like blurred vision when driving at night. This is checked during annual inspections, and failing means replacing the film, which is quite common. Always use certified products and opt for light or medium tints to avoid fines. Overall, driving safety is paramount—don't risk major consequences for minor gains.

Film registration for the vehicle license? Never heard it's mandatory! My car has half-black film, and a friend said the police are strict, so I checked the regulations. Generally, film application doesn't require registration as long as it passes the annual inspection. However, if the light transmittance is poor, especially below 70% for the windshield, it might cause trouble. Poor visibility while driving is also dangerous, so it's advisable to choose standard products. Safe driving is the most important thing.
