Is it permissible not to display the vehicle annual inspection sticker?
1 Answers
In 2020, electronic inspection labels were comprehensively promoted to replace the paper version of the annual inspection compliance sticker. Electronic inspection labels hold the same legal validity as their paper counterparts. In provinces and cities where electronic annual inspection labels have been implemented, it is not mandatory to display the inspection compliance sticker. Below is additional information: For those who have obtained the electronic certificate: Vehicle owners can travel nationwide with just the electronic certificate, and traffic police will not impose penalties for not displaying the sticker. This is because the electronic certificate for motor vehicle inspection labels carries the same legal weight as the paper version. Vehicles that have already obtained the electronic inspection label certificate are no longer required to display the paper sticker. For those who have not obtained the electronic certificate: Vehicle owners who have not obtained the electronic certificate must continue to adhere to the previous regulations by displaying the paper sticker as required; otherwise, they may still face penalties.
