Is It No Longer Necessary to Display Annual Inspection and Insurance Stickers?
2 Answers
Whether it is necessary to display annual inspection and insurance stickers depends on specific circumstances: 1. For vehicles exempt from inspection for six years, there is no need to display annual inspection stickers or insurance stickers. Owners only need to complete the annual inspection process through software or at the vehicle management office; 2. Vehicles that undergo on-site inspections will receive paper stickers upon passing the inspection, which must be displayed. Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles based on the technical requirements for motor vehicle operation safety. Vehicle annual inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage better vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
Recently, I've noticed that many places have adopted digitalized annual inspection and insurance decals, which means in many cities, you no longer need to display physical decals on your windshield. This change is mainly due to the paperless office initiative promoted by local traffic management departments. For instance, in our area, traffic police can directly check a vehicle's annual inspection and insurance information through the electronic system during checks. However, some remote areas or older vehicle systems may not yet support electronic decals, so it's advisable to stay updated on local policies to avoid unnecessary fines. Overall, digitalization has made life more convenient by reducing windshield clutter, but everyone should still ensure regular annual inspections and insurance renewals for road safety. I think this is great—it saves the hassle of replacing decals each time and gives a clearer view while driving.
