How to Conduct Annual Inspection for Vehicles Exempt from Inspection for Six Years?
2 Answers
1. The vehicle owner should first check if there are any traffic violation records and handle any violations accordingly. 2. Check the annual inspection date on the vehicle's registration certificate to determine the specific time for the inspection. 3. Bring the original vehicle registration certificate, the owner's original ID card (or a copy of the company's business license), the original compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the original vehicle and vessel tax payment receipt to the local traffic police office. You can inquire about the location and contact number via "114". 4. At the inspection site, obtain the exemption application form, fill it out according to the sample, and submit the aforementioned documents along with the completed exemption form to the staff for review. 5. After the review is completed, present the original registration certificate to the staff, who will print the new inspection validity date and issue the annual inspection sticker. 6. Take the registration certificate directly to the environmental protection window at the issuing office to receive the environmental protection label and its copy.
My new car is still within the six-year exemption period for inspections. I just completed the exemption-based annual review last year, which was really convenient. Every two years, I use the Traffic Management 12123 APP on my phone to handle it: after logging in, I select the Exemption Application under Vehicle Services, input the license plate number and VIN, upload photos of the front and back of the vehicle registration certificate, and a scanned copy of the valid compulsory insurance policy. After submitting the application, the system usually approves it within a day or two, and the App pushes a notification. I then download the electronic inspection label, print it, and affix it to the right side of the front windshield. The key points are not to modify the car's appearance, such as repainting or adding headlights, and to have no record of major accidents, otherwise the exemption eligibility is voided, and I’d have to visit an offline inspection station. Last time, my application was rejected because the photos were blurry, which delayed the process, so I recommend preparing high-definition images in advance to avoid trouble. The whole process can be done at home, saving the hassle of queuing. Just remember to check the APP messages every two years and handle it promptly to avoid overdue fines.
