Motor vehicles that have not undergone annual inspection for over one year will be automatically deregistered in the computer system. Motor vehicles that have not undergone annual inspection for over two years may have their paper records destroyed or archived. For vehicles that have exceeded the inspection deadline, bring relevant documents such as the vehicle license to the traffic police vehicle management office to complete the annual inspection procedures.

My motorcycle had been out of inspection for over a year. I remember first going to the local traffic police station to handle the overdue fines, as penalties accumulate for missed inspections. I brought essential documents like my ID card, vehicle license, and vehicle registration certificate—it's best to make copies in advance. Then I went straight to the DMV counter, filled out a deregistration application form, and the staff checked the vehicle's status. If the vehicle is still usable but the inspection has expired, scrapping it directly is more convenient. In my case, I chose to scrap it, so I brought the scrapping certificate to apply for deregistration. The whole process took half a day, and I finally got the deregistration certificate. After deregistering, there's no need to worry about being caught driving it illegally, and it helps avoid unnecessary expenses. I recommend not delaying—the sooner you deregister, the easier it is, to prevent fines from piling up and affecting other matters.

Handling the deregistration of a motorcycle after overdue inspection, I have summarized the key steps: First, verify all traffic fines and pay them off, otherwise the DMV won't process the request. Second, prepare original personal documents such as ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and driving license. Third, visit the DMV, submit the materials on-site, and explain the vehicle's condition; if the vehicle is damaged or no longer in use, a scrap recycling certificate is required to simplify the process. The entire procedure requires patience for queuing and may take one to two hours. Special reminder: complete documents are necessary for a one-time approval to avoid multiple trips. After deregistration, the vehicle quota is released, preventing future legal liabilities, which is also environmentally friendly as old vehicles won't take up space. In short, following the rules isn't difficult—the key lies in careful preparation.

After my motorcycle failed the annual inspection, I quickly went through the deregistration process to avoid any trouble. First, I went to the traffic police to settle any outstanding fines and clear the records. Then, I took my ID and vehicle documents to the DMV to fill out the deregistration application. If you no longer need the vehicle, contact a scrap yard in advance to get the necessary proof. Once completed, you'll receive the deregistration certificate, giving you peace of mind. The process is straightforward and efficient—the sooner you handle it, the less hassle you'll have, avoiding potential fines or vehicle impoundment. The whole thing can be done in a day, and it went smoothly for me.
