How to Conduct Annual Inspection for Vehicles Exempt from Inspection for Six Years?
2 Answers
The method for annual inspection of vehicles exempt from inspection for six years: The owner needs to submit the vehicle license, tax payment or tax exemption certificate for vehicle and vessel tax, the ID card of the vehicle owner, and the valid compulsory traffic insurance policy to the vehicle management office before the annual inspection deadline. If the process is delegated to someone else, the original ID card of the agent and a written power of attorney signed by the vehicle owner must also be provided, after which the owner can wait for the review results. The six-year exemption from inspection does not mean that no annual inspection is required for six years, but rather that no on-site inspection is required during this period. The inspection of documents such as the vehicle license and insurance policy is still required every two years. Additionally, with the convenience of the internet nowadays, owners can also handle the process online. They can apply on the website or official account of the local vehicle management office, fill in the relevant information, and then follow the process prompts to upload photos of required documents such as the vehicle license and compulsory traffic insurance policy, or send the relevant materials by courier for door-to-door collection. Once approved, the inspection qualification mark will be sent back by courier, with only the round-trip shipping costs to be paid.
Last year, I helped my neighbor with the six-year exemption inspection, and it was actually quite simple. The easiest way is to use your phone. First, you need to download the 12123 app. After logging in, bind your license plate number, then find the 'Exempt Vehicle Service' under the services section. Upload the required documents, including a photo of your ID, the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and proof that your vehicle has no outstanding violations. The review usually takes one or two days, and the inspection sticker will be mailed directly to your home. I recommend handling any outstanding violations and renewing your insurance a week or two in advance to avoid delays. Don’t forget to check your car’s exterior—if there’s been a major accident or modifications, you’ll need an on-site inspection. The whole process takes less than half an hour, making it perfect for busy working people like us. The best part is it eliminates the hassle of queuing up for an in-person inspection, but regular vehicle maintenance for safety is still a must.
