How to Obtain the Annual Inspection Sticker?
2 Answers
Annual inspection stickers can be obtained at the vehicle management office or at inspection stations designated by the vehicle management office. Here is more information about vehicle annual inspections: Purpose: Vehicle annual inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage better vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Best Time: Vehicles can undergo inspection and apply for annual review within 3 months before the annual inspection date. It is best to go two months or slightly more than one month in advance, and try not to wait until there are only a few days left before the inspection expires. Additionally, before the 10th of each month, inspection stations have relatively fewer appointments, making it an ideal time to avoid long queues.
I just went through my vehicle annual inspection last year, and getting the sticker was quite straightforward. After passing the inspection, the staff at the testing station directly gave me a paper sticker to affix to the upper right corner of the windshield. The whole process was quick: just bring the original ID card and the vehicle registration certificate, pay the inspection fee of about 100-200 yuan, and you can collect it at the window. If you're pressed for time, you can also authorize someone else to pick it up for you, but you'll need to prepare a letter of authorization and the proxy's ID. Nowadays, many places are promoting electronic stickers. Later, I applied for an electronic version through the Traffic Management 12123 APP, which can be downloaded to your phone—very convenient and hassle-free. It's advisable to promptly affix the sticker after each annual inspection to avoid being fined on the road.
