How to Obtain the Inspection Exemption Label in the Ninth Year?
2 Answers
The method to obtain the inspection exemption label in the ninth year is: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, enter the business selection page, under the motor vehicle business, select 'Apply for Inspection Exemption Label for Exempt Vehicles', complete the vehicle information filing as required, and then submit the application. The label can be mailed or picked up in person. For private cars and minivans, except for those exceeding 6 years but less than 10 years, the annual inspection cycle is adjusted to once every two years. This means the 6th and 8th years require on-site inspections, while the remaining 7th and 9th years do not require on-site inspections. Inspection exemption does not mean no inspection is needed. Inspection exemption refers to vehicles that meet the standards within 6 years of registration, exempting them from on-site inspections during the biennial regular inspections. However, owners must still apply for the electronic inspection qualification label on time through the Traffic Management 12123 app.
Getting the 9th-year exemption inspection label is actually quite simple, and I think most car owners can handle it easily. First, you need to confirm that your vehicle meets the exemption conditions—between the 8th and 10th year after the initial registration, usually the 9th year only requires an online application for the exemption label. I just went through the process last month using the Traffic Management 12123 app. Open the app, find the annual inspection service entry, then input your vehicle information and license plate number, upload photos of both sides of your ID card, and a screenshot of the electronic compulsory insurance policy. This step is the most important—complete documentation ensures faster approval. I received an SMS notification about the approval within about a day or two after submission. The exemption label is electronic and can be directly downloaded or viewed in the app, with no hassle while driving since the system automatically syncs the data. If you prefer a physical copy, you can opt for postal delivery, but personally, I find the electronic version more convenient and eco-friendly. The whole process was super smooth—just make sure your compulsory insurance hasn’t expired, or your application will be rejected. I recommend both new and experienced car owners try the online method first—it saves time and effort, and avoids the hassle of queuing at the DMV.
