How to Renew the Driving License for Vehicles Exempt from Inspection for 6 Years?
2 Answers
Currently, vehicles exempt from inspection for 6 years only need to obtain the inspection exemption mark, and the supplementary page of the driving license no longer requires endorsement or stamping. Computers in various regions are now interconnected, and traffic police officers are equipped with mobile terminals. Simply entering the license plate number can accurately identify whether the vehicle has passed the annual inspection.
I just went through this process for my own car a couple of years ago. When the vehicle license expires, it essentially means the annual inspection decal has expired, and you need to apply for a new one. First step is to confirm your car is within 6 years old and not yet due for an on-site inspection. I used the Traffic Management 12123 App directly—logged into my personal account, uploaded photos of the front and back of the vehicle license and the compulsory insurance policy, paid a 20-yuan service fee, and within a day or two, the electronic decal was sent to my phone. Super convenient with no need to travel. You can also choose to visit the local DMV office in person—bring your ID card, vehicle license, copy of compulsory insurance, and proof of no traffic violations, fill out a form on-site, and it’s done in ten minutes. Remember, late processing might result in a fine of over 200 yuan, so doing it a month in advance is safest. I almost forgot and nearly messed up. The whole process is very simple, saving both money and time, with the online option being even easier.
