Is it possible to have a vehicle inspected in a different location now?

Yes. According to current traffic laws and regulations, cross-regional vehicle inspection is possible through a delegated inspection process, but the final inspection procedures must still be issued by the vehicle's purchase location. 1. Required documents for inspection: The most important document for cross-regional vehicle inspection is the Cross-Regional Vehicle Inspection Authorization Letter. When applying for cross-regional inspection, the first step is to obtain this authorization letter. Then, take the authorization letter along with other relevant inspection documents to the local vehicle management office at the delegated location to process the inspection. To apply for the Cross-Regional Vehicle Inspection Authorization Letter, you will need the vehicle owner's ID card, vehicle license, insurance documents, original and copy of the vehicle and vessel tax, and the cross-regional inspection application form, which should be submitted to the vehicle management office at the registration location. 2. Essential documents for vehicle inspection: For the inspection, bring the vehicle license, insurance documents, and the Cross-Regional Vehicle Inspection Authorization Letter to the local vehicle management office at the delegated location. During the inspection process, it is important to ensure that your vehicle does not have any outstanding traffic violations, as this will prevent the normal processing of the inspection.
Nowadays, it's already possible to have your vehicle inspected in a different location! Last year, while on a business trip in Qingdao, I got my Zhejiang-licensed car inspected. The traffic authorities are now implementing nationwide vehicle inspections, making cross-provincial annual inspections for small cars and mini passenger vehicles completely hassle-free. All you need is to bring the original vehicle registration certificate and a valid compulsory traffic insurance policy, then fill out an application form at the inspection station. However, inspection standards may vary slightly from place to place. For example, some provinces and cities have particularly strict requirements on headlight brightness, so it's advisable to check your lights in advance. After the inspection, remember to confirm whether the electronic inspection pass mark has been synchronized to the Traffic Management 12123 app, as paper stickers are no longer issued.
