Is it still necessary to affix the annual inspection sticker for vehicle inspection?

[Albuquerque]

It is no longer necessary to affix the annual inspection sticker for vehicle inspection. Starting from June 2020, the nationwide implementation of electronic annual inspection labels began. Now, when vehicle owners go for their annual vehicle inspection, they will not receive a paper annual inspection label upon passing the inspection. Instead, vehicle owners can directly obtain the electronic annual inspection label on the Traffic Management 12123 platform. Here is some additional information: 1. Required documents for annual inspection: Vehicle license; Compulsory traffic insurance certificate; Vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate (usually purchased together with compulsory traffic insurance and can be found in the compulsory traffic insurance policy); Owner's ID card. If someone else is handling the inspection on behalf of the owner, the representative must bring their ID card. 2. Annual inspection items: The inspection mainly includes vehicle testing, safety testing, exhaust emission testing, etc. Newly added items now include appearance inspection, OBD inspection, fuel evaporation testing, and adjustments to pollutant emission limits.
