How long is the validity period of a vehicle license?

[ColemanDella]

The validity period of a vehicle license depends on the age of the vehicle. Taking passenger cars as an example, new vehicles require biennial inspections within the first 6 years, meaning the vehicle license is valid for 2 years. Between 6 to 15 years, annual inspections are required, so the license validity becomes 1 year. The motor vehicle license is the legal document permitting a vehicle to operate on Chinese roads and is an important certificate recognized by Chinese laws and regulations, serving significant functions. The motor vehicle license held by the driver contains detailed information, including the license plate number, owner's name, vehicle model category, engine number, chassis number, load capacity or passenger capacity, initial registration date, and annual inspection records. The motor vehicle license has a unique characteristic: for any specific vehicle, there is only one set of engine and chassis numbers, and only one license plate number.
