Has the 2021 Vehicle Inspection Sticker Been Canceled?
3 Answers
In 2021, the vehicle inspection sticker does not need to be displayed, but an electronic version of the inspection mark must be provided. Below is an extended introduction: Electronic version introduction: Since June 20, 2020, the electronic vehicle inspection mark service has been implemented nationwide. The electronic vehicle inspection mark is issued through the national unified internet traffic safety comprehensive service platform, making it more convenient to apply for, display, and use the vehicle inspection mark. Applying for the electronic mark: Vehicle owners can apply for the electronic vehicle inspection mark through the internet traffic safety comprehensive service platform. For vehicles exempt from inspection within six years, the electronic inspection mark can be directly applied for online. The electronic inspection mark can be displayed in three ways: online display, offline display, and printed display, providing convenience for vehicle owners or drivers in different scenarios.
When I bought my own car last year, I was still wondering whether to put on that annual inspection sticker, but then I heard that the paper inspection stickers were abolished starting in 2021. Now everything has been switched to electronic versions, which can be checked using the ‘Traffic Management 12123’ App. It’s really quite convenient—no more sticking glue on the windshield, worrying about it falling off or blocking the view. I think this reform saves trouble and is eco-friendly. Usually, you just need to open the App, log in, and you can see the inspection status and validity period. However, the car still needs to undergo the annual inspection on time—don’t procrastinate to avoid fines or accidents affecting insurance. I recommend everyone download the App and check reminders regularly.
I see that the 2021 vehicle inspection stickers have indeed been canceled and replaced with electronic tag operations. Simply put, don't worry about the sticker anymore, but annual inspections are still mandatory. Download the 'Traffic Management 12123' App and register with real-name authentication. It clearly displays the inspection records inside. If the police check your vehicle, a quick scan with your phone can serve as proof. I recommend setting up App notifications or phone reminders to avoid forgetting the inspection date. Not having a sticker on your car doesn't matter, but timely maintenance for vehicle safety comes first.
