How often is a motor vehicle license reviewed?

[Laila]

The vehicle license does not have an expiration date, only an inspection validity period. The inspection validity period refers to the vehicle's annual inspection time, so the replacement cycle of the vehicle license depends on the vehicle. Exempt vehicles: Non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles with 6 seats or fewer (including 6 seats) are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years, only requiring the application of an inspection compliance label every two years. The replacement cycle for the vehicle license is once every 2 years. Additionally, after 6 years, an annual inspection is required; after 15 years, inspections are required every 6 months. Operational passenger vehicles: For operational passenger vehicles, an annual inspection is required for the first 5 years, and after 5 years, inspections are required every 6 months. Freight vehicles: For freight vehicles and large or medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles, inspections are required once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, inspections are required every 6 months. The above are the annual inspection cycles for vehicles. Each time a vehicle undergoes inspection, the vehicle license is also replaced accordingly.

I'm a new driver who just got my license and have been driving a used car for only two years. Regarding the driving license review, actually, the driving license itself doesn't have a fixed review cycle—it's just the ID card of the car. The key is the vehicle annual inspection. For new cars, within the first six years, you need to apply for the inspection exemption mark online every two years without an on-site inspection, and there will be a record on the driving license. After six years, you have to go for an on-site inspection every year to check things like brakes and lights. Last year, my friend forgot to apply for the mark and was stopped by traffic police on the road, fined 200 yuan and deducted three points. Keep your driving license safe and don't lose it—it's useful when changing cars. There's no problem with daily driving, but remember to set a reminder on your phone for the annual inspection date to avoid overdue. During the annual inspection, it costs a few hundred yuan, and you should bring your insurance. The inspection stations can be crowded, and you might have to queue on weekends. Overall, driving a new car is more hassle-free in the first few years, while maintaining an old car can be a bit more troublesome.

I've been driving freight trucks for fifteen years and have operated all kinds of vehicles. There's no separate review cycle for the vehicle license—it follows the vehicle's status—but annual vehicle inspections are mandatory. For new vehicles, you just need to obtain an inspection mark online every two years for the first six years, with the license stamped accordingly. After six to ten years, an annual on-site safety inspection is required, and older vehicles might need more frequent checks. From my experience, don't delay the inspection—once I was two months overdue and got a 200-yuan ticket, which also affected my insurance claim. Just bring the vehicle license to the inspection site for a quick scan. Regularly check your car's condition, like tire pressure and oil levels, to pass inspections smoothly and save time and money. Keep the license intact—avoid folding or wetting it, as losing it makes replacement difficult, and it's essential for ownership transfers. Policies change occasionally; I've heard electric vehicles have different inspection rules, so stay updated on the latest requirements.

I've worked at an auto repair shop for eight years, and car owners often ask about driving license review. Simply put, the driving license doesn't require separate review; it's linked to the vehicle's annual inspection cycle. For new cars, within the first six years, apply for an electronic inspection mark every two years, and the driving license records the information without requiring an on-site inspection. After six years, an annual on-site inspection is needed to check if lights, brakes, exhaust, etc., meet standards. The driving license's date and inspection stamp are updated during the annual inspection. Inspection costs range from 300 to 500 yuan depending on the location; bring your insurance and driving license to handle it—don't forget. Address issues like broken headlights early to pass inspection smoothly. If caught with an expired inspection, you'll face a 200-yuan fine and points deduction. Keep your driving license clean and don't lose it—replacement is costly, though it's rarely used. Annual inspections are essential; prepare materials in advance to save time.

Our family has a small household car that we've been driving for four years, which is convenient for picking up and dropping off the kids. We're not very familiar with the driving license review process, but the main thing is the annual vehicle inspection. For the first six years of a new car, you can apply online for the inspection sticker every two years, and the driving license gets filled in and stamped without needing to visit the station. After six years, you have to go to the inspection station every year for a safety and emissions check—safety first. I remember last time we had to queue for half a day with the driving license and insurance, but it's important to ensure the vehicle is problem-free and not overdue to avoid fines. We usually keep the driving license in the car and only use it for the annual inspection. It's crucial to keep the information accurate and not tamper with it to avoid the hassle of reissuing. For our family, timely annual inspection is both an obligation and a way to protect our family's travel safety. We mark the annual inspection date on the calendar, and with stricter environmental requirements now, passing the emissions test is sufficient.
