How to Obtain the Annual Inspection for the Second Year of a New Car?

Methods to obtain the annual inspection for the second year of a new car: 1. The car owner can personally bring the required documents to the local vehicle management office or traffic police department to apply for the annual inspection sticker. 2. Apply through online channels. After the vehicle management office accepts the application, the required documents can be sent to the processing office via courier in a door-to-door collection format. After verification, the vehicle management office will deliver all inspection qualification stickers to the owner's doorstep via courier. For vehicles undergoing a normal annual inspection, which includes both the vehicle inspection and the collection of the annual inspection sticker, the process is similar for new cars in their second year. However, since these vehicles are not eligible for the exemption policy benefits, the owner must drive the car to the local inspection station within the specified date for the vehicle inspection. Only after passing the inspection can the annual inspection sticker be obtained.
I bought a new car last year and encountered the issue of collecting the annual inspection decal for the second year for the first time. New cars are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years, but you must collect the exemption decal every 2 years. The process is quite simple: I completed it using the Traffic Management 12123 APP. After downloading the app, register and log in, bind your license plate number and vehicle registration information, then select the exemption application entry. You need to upload photos of your ID card, a scanned copy of the vehicle registration, and proof of valid compulsory traffic insurance. All traffic violations must be cleared in advance; otherwise, the application will be rejected. After submission, it takes 1-2 working days for approval, and the inspection decal is mailed to your home. I also learned a tip: set a calendar reminder on your phone to avoid forgetting the deadline. If you're not familiar with the app, you can go to the local vehicle management office with all the required materials to handle it directly, saving time and getting safety driving advice while you're there. This way, you can drive with peace of mind and avoid the hassle of queuing. Regular maintenance is crucial for new cars, including periodic checks on tire pressure and other small details to ensure driving safety.
