Is it necessary to display the annual inspection sticker?

It is no longer necessary to display the annual inspection sticker. With technological advancements and digitalization, the traditional paper-based motor vehicle inspection compliance label has been replaced by electronic credentials, which have been fully implemented nationwide. Therefore, vehicle owners no longer need to affix paper labels to the windshield and can use electronic credentials for nationwide travel. Annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, equivalent to an annual 'health check' for vehicles based on the safety technical requirements for motor vehicle operation. Annual inspections help promptly eliminate potential vehicle safety hazards, encourage better vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

I was also wondering whether the annual inspection sticker was still required, so I specifically went to the DMV to ask. Now electronic labels are implemented nationwide, and there's no need to stick them at all. Finally, those piles of labels on the windshield can be cleaned off. Just remember to complete the annual inspection on time. After passing, the electronic label will be automatically generated in the Traffic Management 12123 app, and you can show it on your phone during inspections. This change is really convenient—those paper stickers used to obstruct the view, especially on rainy days. But be sure to confirm that your annual inspection is still valid before going on a road trip to another region to avoid fines for an expired electronic label. Even though you don't need to stick it, don't slack off on the annual inspection.

No need to display the annual inspection sticker anymore! After last year's policy update, it's fully digitalized. I've installed the Traffic Management 12123 APP on my phone, which automatically updates the electronic inspection data after each annual check. When stopped by traffic police, just show the QR code on your phone screen for scanning. So convenient - no more struggling to clean adhesive marks off the windshield. But digitalization doesn't mean you can skip inspections - overdue inspections still result in fines and penalty points. I recommend checking the inspection validity period in the APP every six months. It sends reminder notifications when expiration approaches, which is quite thoughtful.

After driving a truck for so many years, the most annoying thing was having to stick the annual inspection sticker on the windshield. Now, with the new regulations, we're completely liberated—the nationwide unified policy has abolished the requirement to display it. As long as you ensure your vehicle undergoes the annual inspection on time, the system automatically generates an electronic tag. As someone with presbyopia, obstructed vision while driving was my biggest concern, but with digitization, the view is much clearer now. During long-distance trips, traffic police frequently check vehicles, but showing the electronic tag in the 12123 APP has never caused any issues. By the way, those stubborn glue marks left by old stickers can be removed with essential balm—I've tested it myself, and it works.
