How to Check if a Vehicle Needs Inspection?

[DelGarrett]

Log in to the local traffic police website, click on the vehicle information inquiry, and enter the license plate number and engine identification code to check. Bring your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and driver's license to the vehicle management office or traffic violation processing hall for inquiry.

When I usually check if my car needs an inspection, I simply take out my phone, download the official DMV app or use a WeChat mini-program, enter the license plate number, and I can see the next inspection date. Technology is so convenient these days—it takes less than a minute to get it done. If I don’t have the app, I recall the expiration date on the vehicle registration certificate or check the inspection sticker on the windshield to see if it’s expired. Don’t delay car inspections—regular checks help prevent safety hazards, and missing one could lead to fines or affect insurance. I recommend making it a habit to check once a month and set calendar reminders to avoid driving with uncertainty. Safety first! This method is especially great for us young people—not many tasks can be done while casually using our phones. It’s super handy and even lets you check for traffic violations at the same time. Two birds with one stone!
