There are two ways to schedule a vehicle annual inspection: 1. Method One: Online Scheduling. 2. Method Two: Phone Scheduling. Below is the relevant information: Documents required for vehicle annual inspection: (1) "Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form". (2) Motor vehicle driving license. (3) Motor vehicle traffic accident liability compulsory insurance certificate. (4) Motor vehicle safety technical inspection certificate issued by a motor vehicle safety technical inspection institution. (5) Motor vehicle inspection record form. (6) Vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate.
I've always been a car enthusiast and have scheduled vehicle annual inspections many times. Nowadays, most places recommend online operations, which save a lot of time. I often use the 'Traffic Management 12123' app—just download, install, and register with real-name authentication. On the app's homepage, find the annual inspection booking entry, fill in vehicle details like license plate number and engine number, confirm the information, then proceed to select a testing station and time slot. I prefer weekday mornings when there are fewer people and no queues; the system shows estimated waiting times for each station. After successful booking, you'll receive an SMS code—save it in your phone's notes. Don’t forget to prepare the required documents in advance: original and photocopy of the vehicle license, ID card, and the latest compulsory traffic insurance policy copy. The inspection must be completed within a week of booking, so I recommend double-checking the documents before driving—forgetting something would be a waste of time. The whole process, once booked, takes about half an hour for the inspection, cutting the time in half compared to offline methods. Fellow car owners, don’t wait until the peak period—book via the app a week early for a safe and efficient experience.
