For vehicle annual inspection without online process, you can directly bring the vehicle license, owner's ID card, and a copy of valid compulsory traffic insurance to the vehicle management office to obtain a new inspection sticker, provided that the vehicle has no traffic violation records. Non-operational passenger vehicles enjoy 6-year exemption from inspection: Vehicles registered after September 1, 2010 are exempt; Submit compulsory traffic insurance and vehicle tax proof every 2 years, and directly receive the inspection sticker after clearing traffic violations and accident records; Vehicles involved in injury accidents are not eligible. Annual Inspection: National regulations require regular vehicle inspections including exhaust emission tests, exterior inspection, light check, brake test, and chassis examination. A qualified inspection sticker will be issued if all tests are passed and no traffic violations exist. All inspection dates are based on the registration date shown on the vehicle license. From the registration date, vehicles must undergo safety technical inspections at specified intervals, commonly referred to as "annual inspection" or "annual review".
Having driven for over a decade, I find the exemption from on-site inspections for new vehicles in the first six years quite convenient. Simply visit the local vehicle management office window with your vehicle license, ID card, and a copy of your driver's license—no need to drive there and queue. Fill out a simple application form on-site, and after the staff verifies the information, pay a fee of a few dozen yuan. You'll receive the new annual inspection sticker immediately to place on your vehicle. The whole process takes just over ten minutes! With today's advanced technology, you can also download the Traffic Management 12123 App on your phone, upload the required documents, make the payment online, and have the inspection sticker mailed to your home, saving both time and effort. The exemption from on-site inspections is primarily designed for new vehicles to ensure basic safety. Remember to maintain your vehicle in good condition to smoothly pass this simplified procedure.
