Is it mandatory to display the motor vehicle inspection sticker?

Currently, vehicle annual inspection stickers have been digitized and do not need to be displayed on the vehicle. Here is relevant information about vehicle annual inspections: During the annual inspection, the vehicle's exhaust emissions will be tested for compliance: Automobile exhaust emission testing involves the oxygen sensor and three-way catalytic converter. Their optimal operating temperature is between 400 to 800 degrees Celsius, so it is recommended that owners warm up their vehicles in the inspection area before the emission test to increase the pass rate. Clean the vehicle: Before the annual inspection, owners should clean the vehicle body in advance. Cleaning the vehicle body, engine compartment, and chassis beforehand can facilitate the inspection process and help pass the annual inspection. The vehicle management office will inspect the vehicle's lights: If the vehicle's lights are found to be too dim or too bright, they will be deemed unqualified, and the vehicle will not pass the annual inspection. It is recommended to restore the original state of the headlights before the annual inspection to pass the test.
Absolutely not, my friend! Although electronic labels are being promoted now, the paper version must still be carried in the vehicle. The regulations clearly state that the inspection pass label must be affixed to the upper right corner of the windshield. Last time I went on a long-distance trip to a neighboring province, I was checked by traffic police who said the inter-provincial system isn't fully connected yet. Without the paper label displayed, I got an on-the-spot ticket. Since then, I've obediently stuck it in the corner of my windshield using a static cling sticker that doesn't damage the glass and is easy to remove. Remember that annual inspection label issued when you first registered your new car? You'd better keep it safe and don't lose it!
