2 Answers
Vehicle annual inspection stickers can be applied for online or on-site. Below is relevant information about obtaining the vehicle annual inspection sticker: 1. Online Application: (1) Open the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app and locate the 'Exempted Vehicle Application for Exemption Inspection Sticker' function. (2) Enter 'Comprehensive Traffic Service Management Platform' in a browser and find the 'Apply for Exemption Inspection Sticker' function. 2. On-site Application: (1) Original ID card; if applying through an agent, the agent must bring their original ID card. (2) Original copy of compulsory traffic insurance. (3) Proof of vehicle and vessel tax. (4) Original vehicle license. (5) All traffic violation records must be cleared before processing.
To obtain the vehicle's annual inspection sticker, you usually need to complete the annual vehicle inspection process first. I'll check if my car is due for inspection, which is generally easy to do through a mobile app that shows the vehicle's status. If it's confirmed to be due, I'll drive directly to a nearby inspection station and queue up for an on-site inspection. After the staff completes the process, they'll issue a small sticker on the spot, which I need to immediately place on the upper right corner of the windshield to avoid forgetting. The whole process usually takes about half an hour, but remember to bring all necessary documents, such as the vehicle registration certificate and ID card. If you forget the documents, you might have to make two trips, which is quite troublesome. I recommend setting a regular reminder to avoid waiting until the last day, as inspection stations can get crowded and cause delays. Putting up this sticker isn't just to comply with traffic police checks—it also reminds me of the vehicle's safety status, preventing potential breakdowns on the road. Before the next inspection, I'll schedule an appointment a week in advance to save time and effort.
