How to Operate the New Car Inspection Exemption for Several Years?

[StBeau]

Directly in the "12123" APP, click on "Apply for Inspection Exemption Label for Exempted Vehicles", and upload the compulsory insurance policy and the vehicle and vessel tax certificate. Submit the application, and the processing time is within 1 working day. Exemption from inspection does not mean exemption from review. During the 6-year exemption period, you need to provide the compulsory insurance certificate and the vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption certificate every 2 years to apply for the inspection label. The 6-year inspection exemption for non-operational vehicles such as sedans means that the vehicle is exempted from on-site inspection, but you need to go to the "6-Year Exempted Vehicle" inspection label issuance point to apply for it.

Last year I bought a new car and enjoyed the 6-year exemption from inspection policy, with super simple procedures. I handled it using the Traffic Management 12123 APP. After downloading and installing, I registered an account and bound my vehicle information. In the service section, I found the option for new car inspection exemption application. I uploaded clear photos of my ID, vehicle registration certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance policy, then waited for system review. Once approved, the electronic inspection label was sent to my phone, which I could directly save or print and affix. The whole process was done from my couch at home, taking just five minutes—super convenient. Remember to apply for the label every two years to avoid late fines. If there are issues with the APP, you can consult customer service online. Note that the vehicle must not have any accidents or illegal modifications, otherwise it won’t qualify for the exemption. By the sixth year, you’ll need to book an appointment in advance for an on-site inspection at a testing station.

As a veteran driver with thirty years of experience, my new car enjoys an exemption from inspection for the first 6 years. I prefer handling this at the local vehicle management office, bringing along the original and a copy of the owner's ID card, the vehicle registration certificate, and a valid compulsory traffic insurance policy. After queuing at the counter to submit the materials, the staff will verify them on the spot. If everything is in order, you'll receive a paper inspection sticker to affix to the upper right corner of the windshield yourself. This face-to-face method is more reliable, as any document issues can be resolved immediately. Although mobile apps offer a quicker alternative, older friends might find the technology less accessible. Remember to apply for the exemption every two years without delay to avoid affecting insurance claims. The policy requires that the vehicle must not have been involved in any major accidents or modifications to qualify for the exemption. By the 6th year, it's crucial to proactively undergo an on-site inspection to ensure safety.

Having worked in car repair for over a decade, I often help car owners with the new vehicle inspection exemption procedure. It's actually quite straightforward: non-commercial passenger vehicles are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years, but must apply for an inspection decal every two years. Owners can upload document photos via the 12123 mobile app for automatic review, and the electronic decal is issued quickly. For those who prefer not to use the app, they can submit materials at the DMV to get the decal, which is simpler. The key is to keep the vehicle in its original factory condition without modifications or accidents. I remind owners that inspection exemption doesn't mean the car is absolutely problem-free—regular checks of fluids and tires are essential. When the 6th year comes, directly contact the inspection station for an appointment to avoid queues and save time and effort.
