Is it necessary to have the driving license stamped for the six-year exemption from inspection?
2 Answers
For vehicles exempt from inspection for 6 years, there is no need to have the driving license stamped, meaning the inspection validity period does not need to be annotated. You only need to apply for an annual inspection decal at the vehicle management office every 2 years. Additional information: 1. Notes on handling annual inspection procedures: Starting from July 2018, new regulations stipulate that vehicles eligible for the six-year exemption from inspection only need to bring their ID card to the vehicle management office to collect the inspection compliance decal when handling annual inspection procedures. The inspection validity date will no longer be stamped on the supplementary page of the driving license, which further simplifies the inspection process for exempt vehicles and provides convenience for many new car owners. 2. Handling method: To process the annual inspection, an advance appointment is required, and exempt vehicles are no exception. There are two methods for making an appointment here: one is telephone appointment, and the other is online appointment.
I've been driving for over a decade and am quite familiar with the six-year exemption policy. This policy applies to new vehicles within six years of registration, exempting them from on-site inspections every two years, but requiring the annual inspection label collection procedure. No stamp is needed on the vehicle license because you mostly apply online via the Traffic Management 12123 app or directly at the vehicle management office. They'll issue you an electronic compliance label or sticker to place on the windshield – that's all there is to it. The stamping concept is outdated; everything's digital now, so the vehicle license remains largely unchanged, with at most an update to the supplementary page. Don't get careless about the timing, or you might receive a fine. This policy is a great convenience for private passenger car owners, avoiding the hassle of long inspection queues while ensuring vehicle safety. Remember to set a reminder in the app in advance to avoid missing the deadline.
