How to Conduct Annual Inspection for a Backdoor Vehicle?
2 Answers
First, settle any traffic violations and pay the fines. If the vehicle requires an out-of-town annual inspection, you need to apply for an out-of-town vehicle inspection authorization in advance, specifying the vehicle management office where the inspection will take place. During the annual inspection, bring the vehicle license, a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the triangular warning sign. Some locations may also require the vehicle owner's ID card. If the vehicle has unresolved traffic violations, an expired annual inspection, a lost vehicle license, or an unrenewed compulsory traffic insurance policy, these issues must be resolved before proceeding with the inspection.
I've been handling annual inspections for proxy-registered vehicles for nearly a decade, and the first step is sorting out the documentation. Since the car is registered under someone else's name, you must obtain a copy of the original owner's ID card and a power of attorney. Remember to schedule an appointment in advance and ensure the owner or their authorized representative is present to cooperate. Before the inspection, clear all traffic violations, then bring the vehicle registration certificate and compulsory traffic insurance policy to the testing station. The inspection includes emissions testing and brake system checks—it's best to have a preliminary check at a repair shop beforehand. Fix any issues like insufficient lighting or faulty brakes to avoid the hassle of reinspection. The whole process can be completed in half a day if everything goes smoothly, but the key is maintaining a good relationship with the owner; otherwise, if they back out, the whole process gets stuck.
