How to Conduct Annual Inspection for a New Car Within 4 Years?
2 Answers
For non-commercial motor vehicles, the annual inspection procedures can be completed through the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123" or at the vehicle management office or traffic management department of the public security authority. Commercial motor vehicles must undergo inspection procedures at the vehicle management office, including on-site testing. Below are the relevant details: 1. Required Documents for Vehicle Annual Inspection: To conduct the annual inspection, the following documents must be provided: the vehicle's driving license, the owner's ID card or a copy, and the compulsory traffic insurance policy. The inspection can be processed at the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority. For vehicles exempt from on-site testing, the procedures can also be completed via the "Traffic Management 12123" mobile app. Only after completion can the vehicle be used normally. 2. Timing for Motor Vehicle Annual Inspection: The annual inspection can be completed up to three months in advance. The latest inspection must be done within the registration month of the vehicle. For example, if the vehicle was registered on May 5th, the inspection must be completed within May to be considered valid, without any concerns.
I just bought a new car four years ago and handled the annual inspection for the first time last year. New cars don’t require an on-site inspection for the first six years, but you need to apply for an inspection compliance sticker every two years. The fourth year is the time for the second sticker. I checked many guides online beforehand and downloaded the Traffic Management 12123 app. First, I logged into the app to check the vehicle information and whether there were any traffic violation tickets. If there were tickets, I had to handle them quickly on the app. After confirming everything was in order, I directly selected the option to apply for the inspection sticker, filled in the address for mailing, and got it done in just a few days. The whole process was super simple, with no need to queue and waste time. If you don’t break traffic rules often, the annual inspection becomes much easier. Don’t wait until the last day to handle it to avoid affecting your ability to drive on the road.
