How early can the 2-year inspection exemption label be obtained?
2 Answers
2-year inspection exemption can be obtained up to three months in advance. Below is a detailed introduction about vehicle annual inspection: Passenger vehicles for operation: Passenger vehicles for operation must be inspected once a year within 5 years, and once every 6 months if over 5 years. Trucks and large, medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles: Trucks and large, medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 10 years, and once every 6 months if over 10 years. Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles: Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles are exempt from inspection within 6 years, and must apply for inspection labels every two years. Starting from November 20, 2020, vehicles over 6 years but less than 10 years old have been adjusted from annual inspection to biennial inspection. Vehicles over 10 years old must be inspected once a year, and those over 15 years old must be inspected every 6 months.
Last time I forgot to apply for my vehicle's inspection exemption sticker before it expired, and I almost got fined. Generally, the 2-year inspection exemption sticker can be renewed about 30 days in advance, depending on your local regulations. I used the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app to enter my license plate and ID information, and it only took a few minutes to complete, saving me the hassle of queuing at the vehicle management office. Applying early has many benefits, such as allowing you to check insurance updates at the same time and avoid overdue issues that could affect driving. Remember not to wait until the last minute, as network issues or holiday delays could cause trouble. The inspection exemption sticker saves us time by avoiding the inspection station, but we still need to pay attention to the vehicle's condition, regularly check the lights and brakes, and prioritize safety.
