I just helped my car get the electronic inspection exemption label last year, and the whole process went smoothly. First, make sure your car is a new vehicle within 6 years, hasn't been involved in any serious accidents, and the compulsory insurance is still valid. Then download the Traffic Management 12123 App on your phone, register and log in, and bind your vehicle information and license plate number. Next, find the 'Motor Vehicle Services' - 'Apply for Inspection Exemption Label' in the main menu, and fill in some personal and vehicle details as required. After submission, the system will automatically review it in a few dozen minutes. If you meet the conditions, the electronic version of the label will be generated directly, and you don't need to go to the DMV. This electronic label will be displayed in the App, and you can just show the screen to law enforcement officers during inspections. It's best to prepare a copy of the vehicle registration certificate just in case, but the whole process can be done online, saving time and effort while being eco-friendly.

Applying for the electronic inspection exemption label is quite simple, I've done it several times on the app. The requirements are that the vehicle must be a small passenger car within 6 years, with no modifications or accident records, and valid compulsory insurance. The fastest way is through the Traffic Management 12123 App - register an account, bind your vehicle, click the application option, enter necessary information and submit. The system processes it in the background, automatically confirms eligibility and generates the electronic version. It usually takes one or two hours to complete. The label is valid for two years, and you can reapply before expiration. Some regions also support WeChat mini-programs with similar procedures. Remember to fill in the information correctly to avoid failed reviews. The whole process requires no physical visits - the government introduced this to enhance convenient services, which really helps people, especially office workers who don't need to take leave for this.

My experience with obtaining the electronic inspection exemption label was quite simple and effortless. Since my car is new and meets all the requirements, I directly processed it on the Traffic Management 12123 App. After registering and binding my vehicle, I clicked to apply for the inspection exemption label, filled in the vehicle details, and submitted. The system quickly reviewed and generated the electronic version, which I could view on my mobile device. The whole process took less than ten minutes. The label is valid for two years, and there's no need to stick a physical one anymore—just show the mobile screen during inspections. It's really hassle-free. I recommend all new car owners try this method—it's efficient and saves a lot of trouble.
