How to Obtain the 6-Year Exemption Inspection Decal for Motor Vehicles?
2 Answers
The vehicle owner should personally bring the vehicle's registration certificate, the ID card of the vehicle owner, the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption certificate to the DMV for application. The owner can also make a phone appointment first and then proceed to handle the matter after receiving the notification. If the vehicle is eligible for the 6-year online exemption inspection policy, the owner only needs to apply on the local DMV website (or a designated WeChat public account). After the DMV accepts the application, the required documents will be collected via courier service in a door-to-door manner and sent to the processing office. Upon verification, the DMV will deliver all inspection qualification decals to the owner's doorstep via courier, with only the round-trip courier fees to be paid.
I've been driving for over a decade and have to deal with annual vehicle inspections every year. For new cars, they're exempt from on-site inspection for the first 6 years, but you must collect the inspection-exempt decal every two years. Just bring your vehicle license, ID card copy, and compulsory traffic insurance policy straight to the DMV. Remember to bring all materials at once - a small oversight could mean multiple trips. Nowadays you can handle it online too, like uploading documents via the 12123 app, then waiting for approval before they mail the decal to your home - super convenient. Get it done early to avoid missing deadlines that could affect driving privileges, plus you'll save on inspection fees - it's really beneficial for daily commuting.
