How often is the vehicle license reviewed?

Motor vehicle licenses do not require review; it is the motor vehicle itself that needs to be reviewed. Here is the relevant information: Overview: The motor vehicle license is the legal document that permits a motor vehicle to drive on roads within China. The license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed core, while the back features a photo of the vehicle, sealed in plastic. The supplementary page also contains an endorsed core. Relevant regulations: Article 17 of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations" issued by the State Council stipulates that vehicles must pass inspection by the vehicle management authority and obtain license plates and a vehicle license before they are allowed to drive. Therefore, holding a "Motor Vehicle License" is one of the prerequisites for a vehicle to be driven on the road, and driving without the license is a violation of regulations.
Speaking of driving license review, I actually just went through this process recently. The driving license itself doesn't require separate review—it's the vehicle that needs periodic inspection. My private car has been running for over three years, and according to the new regulations, new vehicles within six years only need to complete procedures at the traffic management office every two years without on-site testing. They just attach a new label to the supplementary page of my driving license. For vehicles older than six years, you need to drive to the inspection station annually for a full check-up, including lights, brakes, and emissions. Once passed, the driving license will be stamped with an updated date. I recommend everyone pay attention to the next inspection date marked on their driving license. Driving without passing the inspection on time will result in a 200-yuan fine and 3 demerit points.
